Give Me A Day

Title:     Give Me A Day
Author: Isabel Ecclestone Mackay [More Titles by Mackay]

GIVE me a day, beloved, that I may set
A jewel in my heart--I'll brave regret,
If, on the morrow, you shall say "forget"!

One golden day when dawn shall blush to noon
And noon incline to dark, and, oversoon,
My joy lie buried 'neath a rounded moon.

Only a day--it's worth you scarce could tell
From other days; but in my life 'twill dwell
An oasis with palm trees and a well!

[The end]
Isabel Ecclestone Mackay's poem: Give Me A Day
