| 808. The Voice of the Dove |
| | | By Joaquin Miller |
| |
| |
| COME listen, O Love, to the voice of the dove, | |
| Come, hearken and hear him say, | |
| There are many To-morrows, my Love, my Love,— | |
| There is only one To-day. | |
| |
| And all day long you can hear him say | 5 |
| This day in purple is rolled, | |
| And the baby stars of the milky-way— | |
| They are cradled in cradles of gold. | |
| |
| Now what is thy secret, serene gray dove, | |
| Of singing so sweetly alway? | 10 |
| “There are many To-morrows, my Love, my Love,— | |
| There is only one To-day.” | |
