TRIOLET: THE PAST by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: OH FOR AN HOUR OF THE PAST INSTEAD
Last Line: TO MEET THEE IN TO-DAY!
Subject(s): LONGING; PAST;

OH for an hour of the past instead
To meet thee in To-day,—
A breath of the life that's all but dead!—
Oh for an hour of the past instead,—
A single word of the words we said
For those we try to say!
Oh for an hour of the past instead
To meet thee in To-day!
