A Dark MonthFrom Swinburne's Collected Poetical Works Vol. V
Most loved of all our hearts hold nearest

To far outshines the sun,

As when with sly shy smiles that feign

Doubt if the hour be clear, the time

Fit to break off my work again

Or sport of prose or rhyme,

My friend peers in on me with merry

Wise face, and though the sky stay dim

The very light of day, the very

Sun's self comes in with him.

346 XVIII

Out of sight,

Out of mind!

Could the light

Prove unkind?

Can the sun

Quite forget

What was done

Ere he set?
