MEMORIES.
How sweet the air alchemy
in sun and dew, and every heart may
share
The wild-wood beauty God ordained
free.
Though one bear it fading from
the room
Still in the morning air its breathing
sweet
Brings dreams of garden aisles and
vanished bloom,
And charms that made the summer's
joy complete.
The perfume lingers when the rose
is dead.
And lures the heart to dreams with
its sweet breath;
The love of love is ours when life has
fled.
And links our souls across the deeps
of death.
