The nights remember
Language: English
The nights remember lovely things they knew, The words of lovers, tremulous and wise, And kisses blown and laughter and the beauty Of glowing eyes. The nights remember hours white with wonder, Lipped with red stars and strangely luminous; Perchance, beloved, when the years have lengthened-- They will remember us.
