First Line: Moments there are that glorify the years

Subject(s): Love; Memory
Moments there are that glorify the years,
That quiver down the bright strings of each day—
Flashes of beauty, echoes of delight;
Memories of wheat-fields waving in the breeze,
Of restless waves under the moon's pale light,
Of tender gladness in a friend's dear eyes,
Of warmth of loving greeting and surprise;
The wistful silence of a summer night,
The flush of pink azaleas on a hill,
A thrush's evening carol, sweetly shrill,
The throbbing notes of an old violin
Trembling away, sublimely sweet and thin;
The rich red beauty of an autumn rose,
A clump of purple asters by the way,
The lovely hush that wraps the twilight's close
Woven in the pale warp of everyday.
Resplendent moments, memories that dart
From unfrequented corners of the heart.
