Poems (Jordan)/'Twixt Dark and Dawn

​
'TWIXT DARK AND DAWN
The stars, like blazing coals In the black grate of Night,Invite sad, lonely souls Unto their warmth and light.While gazing on the stars Imagination hasFull play, and nothing mars The shapes there pictured, asThe flame which emanates Therefrom, doth seem to frameFaces of spirit-mates, Forevermore the same,—E'en when the star-fire's flash Less, and still lesser glows,And dies beneath the ash Which Dawn upon it throws.
