Candle 🕯️ Poem by Eden Verse

Which dream is floating in thine eyes?
Why tears thou shed in darkish night?
A flickering flame of hope art thou
For aching hearts a mirthful sight
Which temp, which grave which forlorn road

You mourn for which delightful sight?

In starless nights show thou the way
To travellers wandering thus forlorn
In misty nights near haunted ruins
They read some ancient mystic yarn

Thy lingering eyes why weepst thou thus?
From centuries why thy wounds are green?
Thou weep for Psyche or for Ruth

In balmy dark them thou hath seen!
Thou beauteous than the honeyed eve:
Thou glittering than the stars in sky
Thou with whose charming gloomy light
In chariots come moths and go by
Who destined thou to live in gloom?
Who unto thou this doom hath brought?
My soul_mate it is but the one
Whom carried thou in thine own heart
