THE ENDLESS HOST, by                    
First Line: There's a soft host whose van will be
Last Line: And 'wildering softness, sunny-curled.
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Love - Unrequited


THERE'S a soft host whose van will be
With life pressed onward to the last;
And generations pause to see
The fair procession never passed;—
Mysterious legions, armed to move
The world at such a cost of love.

We would not join it, you and I,
That host we broke from long ago.
Sweeter to pause, and watch it by,
And all its wealth of joy to know,—
And all its lightening of the world,
And 'wildering softness, sunny-curled.
