"But Love alway!"

AMY SMITH

I wandered in a garden sweet,
Whose quaint old-fashioned flowers
Let fall their petals at my feet
In soft and scented showers!

I paused beside an old sun-dial
And watched the sunlight shining
Upon its upturned face, the while
I marked the day's declining!

I pondered what the legend said,
And marveled at its power.
"Light and shade by turns," it read,
"But Love alway!" each hour!

"But Love alway!" I said aloud,
"No matter what the weather,—
If it be sun or rain or cloud,—
Go Love and I together!"

The sun-dial marks the hours that shine,
Dark ones are noted never,
But, sun or shadow, Love divine
Abides with us forever!

We'd love to hear from you!
