Excerpt from Mask and Domino Love, dear love, the summer sun is shining, And life is beautiful with tint and tune; And all things rare and sweet, enwrapt, entwining, Lie dreaming in the murmurous air of June; Then love me, love, ere summer pass away, And dark and cold shall dawn a loveless day. O love, dear love, come nearer still and nearer, For youth and hope to-day go hand-in-hand; The air is softer and the sky is clearer For all the low words whispered through the land; Then love me, love, ere all this pass away, And wintry winds bemoan a loveless day.
