I know now it cannot end
Eternity would have to bend
Before our love’s large strength
Which will suffer no reverse
Infinity’s enduring length
Is not as far as love can send
Its message to the universe.
The tree – again! – it’s roaring white
Firing snow into the air
Lean long branches flash, declare...
Dear, the night’s long gone, the moon’s
A refugee, the sun’s about
These many hours to come...
