Arthur Sherburne Hardy I Love You Poems
- 1. With April Arbutus, To A Friend

And as I slept, forgot of man and God,
... - 3. On The Fly-leaf Of The Rubaiyat

Like the south-flying swallow the summer has flown,
Like a fast-falling star, from unknown to unknown
Life flashes and falters and fails from our sight,-
Good-night, friends, good-night.

The other for the ends they seek, yet smile
Forgiveness, as two friends that love the while
The folly against which each feigns to preach.
