Excerpt from Gates of Twilight Long days we walked the roadway of content, And listened to the lutes in whispering trees That seemed to us from some fair Heaven sent Upon the perfumed wings of every breeze. When I turn back the pages of the book, Telling the story of her loves and mine, New gladness smiles in every wistful look Like ruddy youth, awakened by old wine.
