You Are More Golden Than Leaves
Alice Corbin
1881 to 1949
You are more golden than leaves,
More lyrical than light;
More brilliant than the high noon-day,
Or the sun in his might.
I am more silver than waves,
More pale than night,
More sad than the waning moon
In the grey dawn's light.
But I shine through your golden leaves,
And I sing in your light,
And the earth will remember our history
Many a long night.
