Now deserted are the roads
Where awhile the lovers went;
Vacant are the field-abodes
Where a vivid hour they spent:
Solemn dark
Broods again in lane and park.
‘Tis no matter where are gone
Those warm lives—-to halls, maybe,
Festive, or to lodgings lone:
Of the land their tenancy
Now is o’er;
Earth to earth belongs once more.
Gone are they as hourly goes
From the sombre fields of space
Our world, with its little glows-
Passion’s ship that has no place,
Leaves no track,
On time’s endless ocean black.
(Elizabeth Daryush)
