To Forget
Every ray of light in the darkness
That the whispering leaves hold on to
In midmorning\'s honeyed hues
Upon wings of mellow dew
Forsaken by the ether, to fall upon grass
To never remember and weep, alas
That which was lost was precious to the world
In whose curled fist, lay music unheard.
Upon wings of mellow dew
That shadows have scorned
Those silver\'d jewels of dawn
Which by daylight adorned
The memory of morning
In holy Spring\'s sight
Which cross\'d by moon\'s light
Tarried with the birds\' flight
Verily, the skies should break
The firmament, fractured
To repent for those humbled tears
That the leaves have now captured.
