Eight O'Clock
Eight O'Clock
Original Text
Flame and Shadow (New York: Macmillan, 1924): 44. PS 3539 E15F6 Robarts Library
1Supper comes at five o'clock,
3My lover comes at eight o'clock --
4 But eight o'clock is far.
5How could I bear my pain all day
6 Unless I watched to see
7The clock-hands laboring to bring
8 Eight o'clock to me.
