O WAVING VEIL OF SHADE AND SUN! by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS

Last Line: From innocent blue eyes
Subject(s): HOPE;

O WAVING veil of shade and sun!
O dawns of dream and dew!
When life was high and heaven was one
With earth, and I with you!

When spring's primroses lit the wood,
Her hyacinths the glen.
And deep at heart we understood
The chief concerns of men:

For oft a fire from heaven will fall,
And oft the Soul replies,
And oft the unspoken Hope will call
From innocent blue eyes.
