Robert Laurence Binyon (Роберт Лоренс Биньон)

A Glimpse of Time

In the shadow of a broken house,
Down a deserted street,
Propt walls, cold hearths, and phantom stairs,
And the silence of dead feet —
Locked wildly in one another's arms
I saw two lovers meet.

And over that hearthless house aghast
Rose from the mind's abyss
Lost stars and ruined, peering moons,
Worlds overshadowing this, —
Time's stony palace crumbled down
Before that instant kiss. 

1. Beautifully Dies the Year
2. O World, Be Nobler
3. Go Now, Love
4. Koya San
5. Come Back, Sweet Yesterdays!
