In An Album ~ Arthur Sherburne Hardy

IN AN ALBUM

Like the south-flying swallow the summer has flown,

Like a fast-falling star, from unknown to unknown

Life flashes and falters and fails from our sight,—

Good-night, friends, good-night.


Like home-coming swallows that seek the old eaves,

Like the buds that wait patient beneath the dead leaves,

Love shall sleep in our hearts till our hands meet again,

Till then, friends, till then!

Arthur Sherburne Hardy
