Remembered LoveJohn Albee (18331915)
A
Rest in the green-leafed tree, then hold their way,
Each for some other home where fate commands,
So stayed, so passed two souls one blissful day.
For oft in dreams returns to me more sweet,
Like distant music in a summer night,
The love that bound me captive at her feet.
The beauty and the worth in her I loved
Remade the world, and opened wide the door
To realms of thought with calmer beauty moved.
