Versos English Arthur Colton One Hour

English poem

One Hour

by (1868–1943)

Listen in the reader

The sun shall go darkly his way, the skies

Be lampless of stars, and the moon with sighs

Of her years complain,

And you and I in the waste shall meet

Of a downward gulf with hurrying feet,

And remember then

Only this shy, encircled place,

Only this hour's dimpled grace--

And smile again.
