Jewels

<Love Songs

If I should see your eyes again,
      I know how far their look would go --
Back to a morning in the park
      With sapphire shadows on the snow.

Or back to oak trees in the spring
      When you unloosed my hair and kissed
The head that lay against your knees
      In the leaf shadow's amethyst.

And still another shining place
      We would remember -- how the dun
Wild mountain held us on its crest
      One diamond morning white with sun.

But I will turn my eyes from you
      As women turn to put away
The jewels they have worn at night
      And cannot wear in sober day.
