First Line: One love, till time took it from sight
Last Line: Came with the coming in of night.
Subject(s): Oxford University
ONE love, till time took it from sight,
Was made of heather and sunlight;
The other, after a strange birth,
Was made of lavender and mirth.
The first, which was clad all in grey,
Went with the going out of day;
The last, whose raiment was of white,
Came with the coming in of night.
