<h3 id="Give_Me_a_Day">Give Me a Day</h3>
<p>GIVE me a day, beloved, that I may set<br/>
A jewel in my heart—I’ll brave regret,<br/>
If, on the morrow, you shall say “forget”!</p>
<p>One golden day when dawn shall blush to noon<br/>
And noon incline to dark, and, oversoon,<br/>
My joy lie buried ’neath a rounded moon.</p>
<p>Only a day—it’s worth you scarce could tell<br/>
From other days; but in my life ’twill dwell<br/>
An oasis with palm trees and a well!</p>
