Song [No, No, The Falling Blossom Is No Sign]

Title:     Song [No, No, The Falling Blossom Is No Sign]
Author: George Meredith [More Titles by Meredith]

No, no, the falling blossom is no sign
Of loveliness destroy'd and sorrow mute;
The blossom sheds its loveliness divine; -
Its mission is to prophecy the fruit.

Nor is the day of love for ever dead,
When young enchantment and romance are gone;
The veil is drawn, but all the future dread
Is lightened by the finger of the dawn.

Love moves with life along a darker way,
They cast a shadow and they call it death:
But rich is the fulfilment of their day;
The purer passion and the firmer faith.

[The end]
George Meredith's poem: Song [No, No, The Falling Blossom Is No Sign]
