Love's Challenge.
218
That lead to fairy meadows, deep
With purple flowers and white,
Where never Dawn disturbeth sleep
Nor Time reproves delight.

A fading of horizon bars,
Dusk veiling all the plain,
A star that beckons other stars
Nor beckons them in vain.

Impatient hoofs that paw the sand,
A softly-whinnied plea
Love! lay in mine that little hand:
Life waits for you and me.
