Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sonnets to a Lover
HE eyes of one shall open on the morn Where sunrise fires stain white peaks afar, Another in the valley, where no star Breaks on the gloom, of sea and midnight born; And where the poppies riot through the corn The one, unshod, may pass with wound nor scar The other's struggling hands no gates unbar; Thus one shall have the rose and one the thorn.
If I could choose and could not be denied, Thy way would lie in many a sunny field While through the night my thorny path would be; Forever in the dark would I abide And I would be thy solace and thy shield, If I could choose - ii I could choose for thee!
