Classic and Contemporary Poetry

SONG by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE

First Line: I SAW THE DAY'S WHITE RAPTURE
Last Line: THROUGH EVERY STARLIT NIGHT.
Subject(s): LOVE;
I SAW the day's white rapture
Die in the sunset's flame,
But all her shining beauty
Lives like a deathless name.

Our lamps of joy are wasted,
Gone is Love's hallowed light;
But you and I remember
Through every starlit night.
