JUNE NIGHT

Into my room to-night came June, A band of stars caught up her hair, And woven of the mist of moon, And patterned from the leaf-laced air, Her garments spread a soft perfume Over the shadows of my room.
But hardly had her coming stirred My darkness with a hope like dawn, Or had my anxious silence heard Her faint footfall, than she was gone. She went as though with a quick fear Of the eternal winter here.
