Won't you help support DayPoems? To One AbsentBy John Hay10/8/1838-7/1/1905Only a week ago, heaven bent so near It bartered greetings with the jocund earth, The sweet June day was lived with love and mirth, A world of verdure laughed in summer cheer. And when night came its charm was doubly dear; Under that opulent moon joy knew no dearth; All beautiful and gracious things had birth In your eyes' cherishing light; for you were here. Now all that glow of life is vanished; lorn The world lies under the cold gleam of morn. Withered and shrinking in the spectral blue Hangs the sad moon, a pale and shuddering ghost Of all that glory in your absence lost Fading and waning, love, for lack of you.
