The Nightlong Tryst

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.
