This is not mine but is for Marguerite. Do you like it.?

Question:"Evening Song"

Look off, dear Love, accross the sallow sands,
and mark yon meeting of the sun and sea.
How long they kiss in sight of all the lands,
Ah! Longer, Longer, we.

Now in the sea's red vintage melts the sun,
As Egypt's pearl dissolved in rosy wine,
And Cleopatra's night drinks all. 'Tis done.
Love, lay thine hand in mine.

Come forth, sweet stars, and comfort heaven's heart,
Glimmer, ye waves, round else unlighted sands.
Oh night! divorce or sun and sky apart
Never our lips, our hands.

Sidney Lanier

I hope this helps you feel a little better Marguerite.
Loveya, Steve
