Here you will find thePoemTo Memoryof poet Thomas Sturge Moore
O deeper than the noontide seems when blue, Conceived as of yet finer woof than air, Where, as clouds form, folk cherished, moments rare, Fitfully gleam and pass . . . romance all true, Yet never real enough, thou wild deceit, Drug us till we, no longer what we are, Love as we loved ! . . . Reluming star by star Night falls and tears with thy far glances meet. Thou dream of dreams, which most we can retrieve And least forget, for thee dramatic truth Drapes in fresh silks the tragedy of youth. Yet as they act, our eyes, once blind, perceive Much those performers are too fond to note Till phantom sobs catch in a shrivelled throat.
