Ernest Christopher Dowson - Amor UmbratilisErnest Christopher Dowson - Amor Umbratilis
Work rating: Low


A gift of Silence, sweet!     Who may not ever hear:   To lay down at your unobservant feet,     Is all the gift I bear.   I have no songs to sing,     That you should heed or know:   I have no lilies, in full hands, to fling     Across the path you go.   I cast my flowers away,     Blossoms unmeet for you!   The garland I have gathered in my day:     My rosemary and rue.   I watch you pass and pass,     Serene and cold: I lay   My lips upon your trodden, daisied grass,     And turn my life away.   Yea, for I cast you, sweet!     This one gift, you shall take:   Like ointment, on your unobservant feet,     My silence, for your sake.
