In this soft night thread
A necklace of stars
And wear it in remembrance
Of moments that never will be.
Smiles and tears blend
In a stream of years like
Sunny-rain-sparkle; but no pain,
No sorrow, no living with,
No sharing...
That, in the truth of tomorrow,
They break and scatter whence
They come:
The fancy of some
Old-fashioned brain.
