The Unreturning

By Bliss Carman

1861-1929


The old eternal spring once more
         Comes back the sad eternal way,
With tender rosy light before
         The going-out of day.

The great white moon across my door
         A shadow in the twilight stirs;
But now forever comes no more
         That wondrous look of Hers.
