LOVE'S MORNING, by                    
First Line: Into the shadowland of yesterday

Subject(s): Hearts; Love


INTO the shadowland of Yesterday
The night has flown on unreturning wings:
This night whose moments were our golden strings
Whereon those passionate melodies to play
Of which the echoes all about us stay
With hints of incommunicable things:
This night, whereof no dawn oblivion brings,
Nor any step of all our ultimate way.

So now, as one who leaves the Sacrament
To read the Word, I loose thy hands, my sweet,
That so my reasonable soul may greet
And be conformed to thine—the day be spent
In converse intimate, night find us blent
In union more essential, more complete.
