Love's twilight wanes in heaven above, <br /> On earth ere twilight reigns: <br />Ere fear may feel the chill thereof, <br /> Love's twilight wanes. <br /> <br />Ere yet the insatiate heart complains <br /> 'Too much, and scarce enough,' <br />The lip so late athirst refrains. <br /> <br />Soft on the neck of either dove <br /> Love's hands let slip the reins: <br />And while we look for light of love <br /> Love's twilight wanes.<br /><br />Algernon Charles Swinburne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-sunset/
