Evening Song Willa Cather - 1873-1947 Dear love,                                               what thing of all the things that be  Is ever worth one thought from you or me,               Save only Love,               Save only Love? The days so short, the nights so quick to flee,  The world so wide, so deep and dark the sea,                So dark the sea;  So far the suns and every listless star,  Beyond their light—Ah! dear, who knows how far,               Who knows how far?  One thing of all dim things I know is true,  The heart within me knows, and tells it you,               And tells it you.  So blind is life, so long at last is sleep,  And none but Love to bid us laugh or weep,               And none but Love,               And none but Love. __________________ Evening Song Twice O.L.P. 1950- Dear love, your soft sleeping+breathing sounds require Recitation of this, an Evening Song, singular thoughts,            Save for only your love,            Save for only your love, Days are short, long nights grant permission, Days are short, long nights grant commission,             So dark are the seas of interruption, The voids, the emptying spaces of inhibition, Dim my eye lights, you, envisioned, me, tremulous and weak,              Who knows when I shall see you again so clearly? Of all things past, so well remembered burnishing caresses, My heart within speaks, once more into the clouded atmosphere,              Even as you sleep, my love, yet full on complete, Tho my senses impaired, my thoughts thru your sleep, I’ll penetrate, And none but Love to bid us laugh or weep,                And none but Love,                And none but Love.
