The Locust Tree by Bertha Lee Hempstead
The tall black locust on the hill
Broke into bloom the night you came;
Its lonesome fragrance haunts me still,
And though I seldom speak your name
I know that now life never will
Be quite the same- not quite the same.
Why should a flower's perfume recall
Your upturned face so vividly?
Why should your voice's rise and fall
Come clearly back tonight to me?
And why should some things come at all
And pass, yet never cease to be?
A sudden sense of warmth and light
Throughout the room your presence shed;
And still do I recall outright
Each passing, trivial word you said.
When you passed out into the night
You left a glory in your stead.
And now once more that honeyed tree
Is fragrant with its waxen bloom,
And every night wind brings to me
The spring's elusive, faint perfume,
But can such glory ever be
Again within this little room?
