Classic Love and Romance Poems

   

She Comes Not


She comes not when Noon is on the roses-- 
Too bright is Day. 
She comes not to the Soul till it reposes 
From work and play. 

But when Night is on the hills, and the great Voices 
Roll in from Sea, 
By starlight and candle-light and dreamlight 
She comes to me.

- Herbert Trench
