Won't you help support DayPoems? A ChallengeBy John Hay10/8/1838-7/1/1905The luminous pages of all story prove High love hath ending in heroic woe; Sharp-fanged and fell, dark death doth ever go In waiting for the wandering feet of love. And if that fate be shunned, love's footsteps move Down the dull slope that leads to regions low Where the thick pulse of ease and wont beats slow As in some dusk and poppy-haunted grove. Shall we accept, or shall we not defy, Entrenched in our fast love, this augury? Never shall I less than adore thee, Sweet! No use, my queen, shall dim thy radiant crown. And if, in envy, death shall strike me down, Let his dart find me here, kissing thy feet! DayPoems Poem No. 1598 Comment on DayPoems?
