AD ASTRA: 58 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: TIS WITH THE EVENING THAT I FEEL THY WANT
Last Line: HAVE NO SWEET LOVE TO COMFORT MY DESPAIR!'
Subject(s): COMFORT; LOVE;

''Tis with the evening that I feel thy want,
For with the light my sun of life goes down—
How cold the Moon's pale fire! how grim and gaunt
The spectral arms about my casement blown!
How wofully the winds of midnight moan!
And I—tho' Love is hospiced everywhere—
Have no sweet Love to comfort my despair!'
