GIVE me a day, beloved, that I may set <br />A jewel in my heart--I'll brave regret, <br />If, on the morrow, you shall say 'forget'! <br /> <br />One golden day when dawn shall blush to noon <br />And noon incline to dark, and, oversoon, <br />My joy lie buried 'neath a rounded moon. <br /> <br />Only a day--it's worth you scarce could tell <br />From other days; but in my life 'twill dwell <br />An oasis with palm trees and a well!<br /><br />Isabel Ecclestone Mackay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/give-me-a-day/
