We have walked in Love's land a little way, <br />We have learnt his lesson a little while, <br />And shall we not part at the end of day, <br />With a sigh, a smile? <br /> <br />A little while in the shine of the sun, <br />We were twined together, joined lips forgot <br />How the shadows fall when day is done, <br />And when Love is not. <br /> <br />We have made no vows - there will none be broke, <br />Our love was free as the wind on the hill, <br />There was no word said we need wish unspoke, <br />We have wrought no ill. <br /> <br />So shall we not part at the end of day, <br />Who have loved and lingered a little while, <br />Join lips for the last time, go our way, <br />With a sigh, a smile.<br /><br />Ernest Christopher Dowson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/april-love/
