Here you will find the Poem Love came back at Fall o' Dew of poet Lizette Woodworth Reese

Love came back at Fall o' Dew

Love came back at fall o' dew, 
Playing his old part; 
But I had a word or two 
That would break his heart. 

"He who comes at candlelight, 
That should come before, 
Must betake him to the night 
From a barred door." 

This the word that made us part 
In the fall o' dew; 
This the word that brake his heart -- 
Yet it brake mine, too.
