As down the sun sinks when the day is over,
Bereaving earth, his sad forsaken lover,
A star he leaves for pledge he’ll re-awaken
With love unshaken.
When one hope dies and leaves the heart nigh broken,
Life stirs anon to find some other token
On which to turn our gaze in full assurance
Of joy’s endurance.
I wonder if, when luring life has failed us,
And in a coffin men have dropped and nailed us.
Upon grave’s night will rise some meteor gleaming,
That’s more than seeming?
(Charles Granville)
