A poem by Ernest Dowson

Jadis

________________________________________________
Title:     Jadis
Author: Ernest Dowson [More Titles by Dowson]

Erewhile, before the world was old,
When violets grew and celandine,
In Cupid's train we were enrolled:
Erewhile!
Your little hands were clasped in mine,
Your head all ruddy and sun-gold
Lay on my breast which was your shrine,
And all the tale of love was told:
Ah, God, that sweet things should decline,
And fires fade out which were not cold,
Erewhile.






[The end]
Ernest Dowson's poem: Jadis
