Sonnet 
by Ian McCarthy-Kelley '17

My dear, let us not dream our life away
It seems the night is young and so are we
There are so many things I want to say
And are as many things that we could be

I am the stars and you the glowing moon
Each one of us compounds the other's light
Even against a cloudless afternoon
The two of us, our flame could burn more bright

A blazing candle lights the way ahead
The forward path appears to be so clear
I need now lift my timid boots of lead
And take it toward you without fret or fear

The time to dwell in dreams has departed
Wake up! My new life's bright day has started
