Alternate Author Name(s): Hedbrooke, Andrew
Subject(s): Fidelity; Faithfulness; Constancy
Dawn has blossomed: the sun is nigh:
Pearl and rose in the wimpled sky,
Rose and pearl on a brightening blue.
(She is true, and she is true!)
The noonday lies all warm and still
And calm, and over sleeping hill
And wheatfields falls a dreamy hue.
(If she be true - if she be true!)
The patient evening comes, most sad and fair:
Veiled are the stars; the dim and quiet air
Breathes bitter scents of hidden myrrh and rue.
(If she were true - and if she were only true!)
