Doth Love but live in daylight?
Love is blind.
Daylight or the dark
Love's electric spark
Makes Earth's darkness bright.
Night is day—day, night,
Equal in his sight,
Love is blind.

Still night will come at last,
And the skies
Denser shadows cast
Where Love lies,
Surfeited and weary,
While the twilight dreary
Deepens, darkens, dies.
Life and love are past
At the last.
