I LOVE..., by                    
First Line: Slow drifts of haze that veil the hills
Last Line: And hours that I have spent with you.
Subject(s): Evening; Love; Sea; Sunset; Twilight; Ocean


Slow drifts of haze that veil the hills,
The twilight's peace when day has gone,
A vagrant autumn breeze that wafts
The crimson scarf of Dawn;

Thin china on a hearth-lit shelf . . .
The rhythmic lapping of the sea,
A moon that makes an etching of
The branches of a willow tree . . .

And best of all I love are these: --
A red-wing's flash against the blue . . .
The pelt of rain . . . and silences . . .
And hours that I have spent with you.
