Two empty glasses sparkle in the light
\nWhile I stand within the doorway in repose
\nAnd watch them for a moment, for I chose
\nTo leave them as a token from the night
\nAs though the hours hadn’t sped on by
\nAnd unwelcome daylight hadn’t come at all
\nAs though the foolish Sun had missed her call
\nAnd forgotten to appear within the sky
\nBut the curs’d glasses sparkle all the same
\nReminding me the all too faithful Sun
\nHas heralded another day begun
\nI turn away and softly call your name<\/p>\n
How pale seems this early morning light
\n Compared with one now gone with ended night<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
