Siegfried Sassoon Quotes

54. At Daybreak
I LISTEN For Him Through The Rain,
And In The Dusk Of Starless Hours
I Know That He Will Come Again;
Loth Was He Ever To Forsake Me:
He Comes With Glimmering Of Flowers 5
And Stir Of Music To Awake Me.
Spirit Of Purity, He Stands
As Once He Lived In Charm And Grace:
I May Not Hold Him With My Hands,
Nor Bid Him Stay To Heal My Sorrow; 10
Only His Fair, Unshadowed Face
Abides With Me Until To-morrow.
