Excerpt from Songs of the Stars Forever I blush when the wind of surprise Drives the curtain of darkness that cloaks thee away. Forever the lilies and roses arise Where the touch of thy tenderness pressed me and passed, Forever the face of the Earth justifies The caress of caresses on her heart was the last.
