LOVE LIVES

Time is itself a restless dream:
A swallow's flight across a stream.
Dawn dims the splendor of the moon;
The dusk of evening nudges noon;
A flash, a flame, a flickering;
The flutter of a weary wing;
A pitcher broken at the well;
A whispered word, a muffled bell;
And yet the gods are good to me:
Love lives through all eternity.
