William Ernest Henley - Between The Dusk Of A Summer NightWilliam Ernest Henley - Between The Dusk Of A Summer Night
Work rating: Medium


Between the dusk of a summer night     And the dawn of a summer day,   We caught at a mood as it passed in flight,     And we bade it stoop and stay.   And what with the dawn of night began     With the dusk of day was done;   For that is the way of woman and man,     When a hazard has made them one.   Arc upon arc, from shade to shine,   The World went thundering free; And what was his errand but hers and mine   The lords of him, I and she? O, it`s die we must, but it`s live we can,   And the marvel of earth and sun Is all for the joy of woman and man   And the longing that makes them one.
