AGAINST THE SKY by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: SEE, WHERE THE FOLIAGE FRONTS THE SKY
Last Line: TO US UNKNOWN.
Subject(s): LOVE;
See, where the foliage fronts the sky,
How many a meaning we descry
That else had never to the eye
A signal shown!

So we, on life's horizon-line,
To watchers waiting for a sign,
Perchance interpret love's design,
To us unknown.
