A TRYSTING PLACE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: AS STARS AMID THE DARKNESS SEEN
Last Line: OUR SPIRITS BLEND AGAIN.
As stars amid the darkness seen,
When flows the deepening dawn between
To cover them from sight,
O'erleap the spaces of the dark
And, spark to quickening sister-spark,
Commingle in the light;

E'en so, a solitary way
Do we, beloved, day by day
In weariness and pain,
Climb desolate from steep to steep,
Till in the shadowy vale of sleep
Our spirits blend again.
