THE DAWN OF LOVE, by                    
First Line: Sweeter than any earthly dawn is this
Last Line: There is a murmur of eternity.
Subject(s): Love - Beginnings


Sweeter than any earthly dawn is this,
The morning of our love, when her fond eyes
Open like little flowers of Paradise
And fill the garden place of dreams with bliss.
No glory of the daybreak do I miss --
Blushes that rival daybreak's rosy skies, --
Smiles that are sunshine laughing in disguise, --
And all the sweets of summer in her kiss.

Her hair is like a golden mist above
The snowy bosom, that unfathomed sea,
The undercurrent and the tide whereof
Are but the yearning of her heart for me;
And in the lyric whisper of her love
There is a murmur of eternity.
