When I Wash All the Clouds from the Sky

What of this dread that all will end
Before dawns new light of day
Before my gathering work, undone,
Or with my children, boundless play
And when I consider intimate,
Simple pleasures, so desperate attune
With all those nights I dream of your touch
While roses, unattended still bloom
And I fear the dark hours ever nearing
When I imagine your sweet charms no more
Or speak these words, but for only your ears
"My dear, I love you!" Then at the cold door
Of eternity stand, and forever alone, I cry
Till tears enough the oceans fill,
And wash all the clouds from the sky
