Sunless days and starless nights <br />Bearing fruits of wrack and pain, <br />Purge my lips of lover's vows, <br />Bid me never hope again. <br /> <br />Yet the longing of my soul, <br />Oft denied, still faintly cries, <br />For the heaven of your smile, <br />And the starlight of your eyes.<br /><br />Joseph Seamon Cotter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-11/
