by Edward Frederick Lockton (1876 - 1940), as Edward Teschemacher

The dawn
Language: English 
The Night looked up to the Day
   Through a world forlorn,
And the Day leant down and they kissed,
   And behold! 'twas Dawn.

My heart looked up to your heart
   Through a world forlorn,
And your heart leant down and we kissed,
   And love was born.
