From evensong to daytime,

When April melts in Maytime,

Love lengthens out his playtime,

⁠Love lessens breath by breath,

And kiss by kiss grows older

On listless throat or shoulder

Turned sideways now, turned colder

⁠Then life that dreams of death.

This one thing once worth giving

Life gave, and seemed worth living;

Sin sweet beyond forgiving

⁠And brief beyond regret:

To laugh and love together

And weave with foam and feather

And wind and words the tether

⁠Our memories play with yet.
