• All the wild sweetness of the flower
  Tangled against the wall.
  It was that magic, silent hour....
  The branches grew so tall
  They twined themselves into a bower.
  The sun shown ... and the fall
  
  Of yellow blossom on the grass!
  You feel that golden rain?
  Both of you could not hold, alas,
  (both of you tried, in vain)
  A memory, stranger. So I pass....
  It will not come again.
