Lovers to Lovers

  Our love forsworn
Was very love upon a day,
Bitterness now, forlorn,
This tattered love once went as proud a way
   As any born.

  You well have kept
Your love from all corrupting things,
Your house of love is swept
And bright for use; whatso each season brings
   You may accept

  In pride. But we?
Our date of love is dead. Our blind
Brief moment was to be
The sum, yet was it signed as yours, and signed
   Indelibly.
