Classic Poem

A SONG OF WELCOME

You know I love you, for my darkening eyes
Confess it when our lips and lashes meet,
My life is a long listening for your feet,
Your coming is like sunshine to sad skies.

And when I see your face again life seems
Like this unclouded day that leads the hours
In fair procession down a path of flowers
Towards the folded doorways of our dreams.
