AD ASTRA: 36 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: IN LOVE'S GREAT HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS THOU CANST NOT
Last Line: IN ONE ALL-PERFECT JOY, TOO SOON TO EXPIRE!
Subject(s): LIFE; LOVE - COMPLAINTS;

In Love's great heights and depths thou canst not share!—
Love's widening coil of reciprocity!—
In that brief moment when two lives declare
That Life is richer than all dreams can be,
What time the mellow'd fruit falls from the tree,
Reaping the harvest of the heart's desire
In one all-perfect joy, too soon to expire!
