Premonition.

Topics: classic

He said, "Good-night, my heart is light,     To-morrow morn at day     We two together in the dew     Shall forth and fare away.     "We shall go down, the halls of dawn     To find the doors of joy;     We shall not part again, dear heart."     And he laughed out like a boy.     He turned and strode down the blue road     Against the western sky     Where the last line of sunset glowed     As sullen embers die.     The night reached out her kraken arms     To clutch him as he passed,     And for one sudden moment     My soul shrank back aghast.
