RUFUS DAWES
American lawyer and poet
(1823 - 1859)

Alas! that dreams are only dreams!
  That fancy cannot give
    A lasting beauty to those forms,
      Which scarce a moment live!
      - [Dreams]

Yes!--still I love thee: Time, who sets
  His signet on my brow,
    And dims my sunken eye, forgets,
      The heart he could not bow;--
        Where love, that cannot perish, grows
          For one, Alas! that little knows
            How love may sometimes last;
              Like sunshine wasting in the skies
                When clouds are overcast.
      - [Fidelity]
