Archibald MacLeish - Unfinished History

Archibald MacLeish - Unfinished History

WE HAVE loved each other in this time twenty years br And with such love as few men have in them even for br One or for the marriage month or the hearing of br Three nights' carts in the street but it will leave them: br We have been lovers the twentieth year now: br Our bed has been made in many houses and evenings: br The apple-tree moves at the window in this house: br There were palms rattled the night through in one: br In one there were red tiles and the sea's hours: br We have made our bed in the changes of many months and the br Light of the day is still overlong in the windows br Till night shall bring us the lamp and one another: br Those that have seen her have no thought what she is: br Her face is clear in the sun as a palmful of water: br Only by night and in love are the dark winds on it....
