OUT OF THE SHADOWS: AN UNFINISHED SONNET-SEQUENCE 1, by                    
First Line: The starlight crowns thee when thou standest there
Last Line: Tender thy smile and tender be thy heart.
Subject(s): Sonnet (as Literary Form)


The starlight crowns thee when thou standest there,
The shadows clothe thee in their robes of gray,
The night-winds sighing thru thy dusky hair
Echo the music of a vibrant day.
Such is the glory and the sight of thee
That filled my eyes this happy hour gone by,
Such is the glamour and the light of thee,
The lasting burden of love's ancient cry.
And that I love thee so I shall be singing,
(Dark are thy eyes and golden is thy smile),
Carols of joy to distant heavens ringing,
(Pure is thy soul and free thy heart from guile).
Hear as I sing, O Sweet, my lover's part,
Tender thy smile and tender be thy heart.
