The Wedding Gown

Topics: classic

She put her wedding-gown away     As tenderly as one might close,     With kissing lips and finger-tips,     The petals of a rose     Still held for the Belovd's sake--     The loveliest that blows.     She put her wedding-gown away--     The quiet place was all astir     With vague perfume that filled the room,     Cedar and lavender,     Yet sweeter still about it clung     The fragrant thoughts of her.     She put her wedding-gown away--     Yet lingered where its whiteness gleamed     As one above a sleeping Love,     Oh, thus it was she seemed,     Reluctant still to turn and go     And leave him as he dreamed.
