One Day<\/h1>\n

by Rupert Brooke<\/p>\n

Today I have been happy. All the day
\nI held the memory of you, and wove
\nIts laughter with the dancing light o’ the spray,
\nAnd sowed the sky with tiny clouds of love,
\nAnd sent you following the white waves of sea,
\nAnd crowned your head with fancies, nothing worth,
\nStray buds from that old dust of misery,
\nBeing glad with a new foolish quiet mirth.<\/p>\n

So lightly I played with those dark memories,
\nJust as a child, beneath the summer skies,
\nPlays hour by hour with a strange shining stone,
\nFor which (he knows not) towns were fire of old,
\nAnd love has been betrayed, and murder done,
\nAnd great kings turned to a little bitter mould.<\/p>\n
