AD ASTRA: 17 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: OUR LOVE IT WAS THAT GAVE THE MYSTIC GRACE
Last Line: LOVE UNREQUITED MAKES US FAITHLESS MEN!
Subject(s): LOVE;

Our love it was that gave the mystic grace,
And robed her in the splendour of the sun;
Our love it was that carved upon her face
The witching lines whereby we were undone;
That set her on her interstellar throne!
But soon or late our love must wake, and then—
Love unrequited makes us faithless men!
