Poems (Mary Coleridge)/Poem 134
CXXXIV
O Darkness gather round;
Let no sweet sound
Scatter the silence of this one sweet hour.
I will not see the fairest,
I will forego the rarest,
Sooner than breathe upon Time's perfect flower.
Let no sweet sound
Scatter the silence of this one sweet hour.
I will not see the fairest,
I will forego the rarest,
Sooner than breathe upon Time's perfect flower.
