The fairest face of all is the face I have not seen.
Decorations (1899)
O pray the earth enfold
Our life-sick hearts and turn them into dust.
Decorations (1899)
Ah, God, that sweet things should decline,
And fires fade out which were not cold,
Erewhile.
Decorations (1899)
You ask my love completest,
As strong next year as now,
The devil take you, sweetest,
Ere I make aught such vow.
Life is a masque that changes,
A fig for constancy!
No love at all were better,
Than love which is not free.
