The Nightlong Tryst

*
"The Book of Odes", by L. Cranmer-Byng, [1908],

p. 36

"The Nightlong Tryst\"

Down by the eastern gate

The willow wood's astir;

From dusk to dawn I wait

Through the soundless hours for her,

Till the morning star is shining.

Down by the eastern gate

The willow-thicket pales;

From dusk to dawn I wait,

Till the last red lantern fails,

And the morning star is shining.
