TO IMAGINATION by EDITH MATILDA THOMAS

First Line: ONE DAY THOU DIDST DESERT ME - THEN I LEARNED
Last Line: WHEN, LO! THE FIRST STAR BROUGHT ME BACK THY FACE!

ONE day thou didst desert me -- then I learned
How looks the world to men that lack thy grace,
And toward the shadowy night sick-hearted turned, --
When, lo! the first star brought me back thy face!
