The Argosy - Vol. 51, No. 6, June, 1891 by Various
page 52 of 148 (35%)
The twilight deepens, and the stars grow brighter
In the pure, perfect skies;
The dewy woods with silent voices call you;
Come out, heart of my heart, light of my eyes!

"Come out, for where you are not, beauty is not;
Come out, my Dear!
See how the fairies will adorn the meadows
The moment you draw near;
And the world wear that robe and crown of glory
It never wears except when you are here."

In vain!--a little light among the jasmine
Her lattice gleams,
Her white hand at the closing of it lingers
A moment--so it seems--
To drop an unseen rose down to her lover:
White rose--whose scent will sanctify his dreams!
