XXXVIII
TOO LATE

WHILE over all the sullen embers gloat, Silence, forgetfulness, and only now The twilight of your hair across my brow, And soft my kiss upon your marble throat. Be still—great visions through the quiet float, And while the wind is wailing at our door, And day retires in gloom across the moor, Time shall forget an hour and grow remoteAnd—Hush! The fire is dull between your hair: My tear upon your breast your curtained eyes Have answered—it is all the heart can bear!Peace! Peace! there's pity in the soul of pain, And now our lives fulfil their destinies— Hark! the despairing whisper of the rain.
