Fair faces come again, As at sunsetting The stars without number; Or as dreams dreamed in vain To a heart forgetting Come back with slumber. Love covered both my eyes In a sweet twilight With his two hands folded; Foolish to be most wise, In the light of thy light See as my soul did! O Love, that, seeing all, Sweetly dost cover The eyes of thy loved ones, Let me no more recall The dim hours over And the one face loved once! But, having long been blind, To behold those graces I have lost with love now, Let me behold and find If all fair faces In the world are enough now! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PHANTOM HORSEWOMAN by THOMAS HARDY THE FLYING DUTCHMAN by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE SHEPHEARDES CALENDER: MARCH by EDMUND SPENSER TO A GENTLEMAN & LADY ON THE DEATH ...
