Till The Edge of Day
Come quickly, love, into my dreams tonight,
and lay beside me on this marriage bed.
Don’t hedge what’s true , pondering on what might,
or might not have been. You and I are wed.
That, we are, till death should our names bellow.
A promise I’ve made, and it, I shall keep
till the edge of day, marks the night in yellow
sundown, and sharply, the sky’s a dark, deep,
abyss; my sight’s hollow, my voice silent.
Because I’ve promised to love only one,
though by your choice, not mine, you are absent,
you’ll be in my heart, till my dreams are done.
Come lay beside me on this marriage bed,
don’t you steal away, you and I are wed.

I can only read this with a male's perspective but I see absolute commitment versus conditional love. Some lovely lines here, especially ". . . the edge of day marks the night in yellow sundown. . ."
