Analysis of Tis because, though in dusky bower
Alfred Austin 1835 (Leeds) – 1913 (Ashford)
'Tis because, though in dusky bower,
With love delighted still thou art;
Nor hath the deepening twilight power
To lay a curfew on thy heart.
Thou lovest; and, loving, dost prolong
The sense of sunlight with thy song.
