And its last rays kissed the forehead of a man and maiden fair,—
He with footsteps slow and weary; she with sunny, floating hair;
He with bowed head, sad and thoughtful; she with lips so cold and white,
Struggled to keep back the murmur, “Curfew must not ring to-night.”

Curfew must not ring To-night.

George Parsons Lathrop. (1851–1898)

    The sunshine of thine eyes,
  (O still celestial beam!)
Whatever it touches it fills
  With the life of its lambent gleam.

The sunshine of thine eyes,
  Oh, let it fall on me!
Though I be but a mote of the air,
  I could turn to gold for thee.

The Sunshine of thine Eyes.

Mrs. Humphry (Augusta Arnold) Ward. (1851–1920)
