First Line: The sun and the dew were so far apart
Last Line: Ere the sun had set.
Subject(s): Absence; Hearts; Love; Separation; Isolation
THE sun and the dew were so far apart,
The world would have said they could never have met,
But the sun looked down with a burning heart
When the earth with the crystal dew was wet;
So the dew went up in a golden mist—
And they kist,
Till the dew came back at the close of day,
In a robe of the colour of amethyst,—
And a crown of pearls on the green earth lay,
Like tears of hope and of wild regret
That told of an unforgotten tryst,
Ere the sun had set.
