First Line: Dim pinnacles against the amber sky
Last Line: "o love, do you remember, or forget?"
Subject(s): Oxford, England; Wellesley College
DIM pinnacles against the amber sky,
Towers black-etched, and cobbled streets agleam,
So stands the ancient town, while change goes by
And wind-blown bells stir time from his long dream.
Man's little pinnacles, God's setting sun, --
So I, who hear the old bells' silver fret,
Cry, "Time and space their settled courses run,
O love, do you remember, or forget?"
