Three months of hours

      Three months of hours dance drowsy round our loves
      A triple crown of hours triple won
      From life's fierce traffic, shove and counter-shove
      Of self-chasing commerce till day is done.
5     Slow as in a liquid all of light composed
      Pink pearls that pressed behind our lips did kiss
      And left a lineage of love-drops dosed
      With downy dream-time's fretless wistfulness.
      Each hour augured eons unattained,
10    Long daisy-chains of bliss soft-tied to bliss
      Leading us on as does a wedding train
      Toward pallid horizons half-left in mist.
      To contemplate this past brings present rest,
      Knowing the yet-to-come such past suggests.
