At Parting

For a dar and a nlght, Love sang to U8, played wtth us, Polded us round from the dark and the Ught; And our Uearts were fulfllled of the muslo he made wtth us, Made wlth our hearts and our Ups whlle he stayed with as, Stayed In mld passage hls plnlona from Olght For a day and a nlght. From hls foes that kept watch wlth hls wlngs had he hldden us, Covered us close Irom the eyes that would smlte, From the f eet that had tracked and the tongues that had chldden us, Shelterlng in shade of the ïnyrtles forbldden us, 8pirtt and Hesh growlng one wlth dellght For a day and a nlght. But hls wlnss wlll not rest and hls fcet wlU not stay for us, Mornlng Is here In the Joy of lts mlght ; Wlth hls breath has he sweetened a nlght and a day for us ; Now let hlm pass, and the myrtles make war for us; Love ean but last In us here at lts helght For a day and a nlght.
