Excerpt from From Dawn to Sunset: Book I the Song of Youth; Book II the Song of Manhood; Book III the Song of Riper Manhood O'er joyous vale and hill I wandered, dreaming That all life's hours were as the dawn of day. The sun's touch woke the golden daffodilly His clear beam drew the snow-drop from repose Then first love said, My heart is like the lily 1 And passion said, My soul is as the rose 1 First love and passion with the sun's rich glory Mixed souls as ardent as that mighty flame.
