Poem: Her Voice

Poem: Her Voice

 

The wild bee reels from bough to bough

With his furry coat and his gauzy wing,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Now in a lily-cup, and now

Setting a jacinth bell a-swing,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址In his wandering;

Sit closer love:  it was here I trow

I made that vow,

 

Swore that two lives should be like one

上海龙凤shlf最新地址As long as the sea-gull loved the sea,

As long as the sunflower sought the sun, -

It shall be, I said, for eternity

'Twixt you and me!

Dear friend, those times are over and done;

Love's web is spun.

 

Look upward where the poplar trees

Sway and sway in the summer air,

Here in the valley never a breeze

Scatters the thistledown, but there

Great winds blow fair

上海龙凤shlf最新地址From the mighty murmuring mystical seas,

And the wave-lashed leas.

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Look upward where the white gull screams,

What does it see that we do not see?

Is that a star? or the lamp that gleams

On some outward voyaging argosy, -

Ah! can it be

上海龙凤shlf最新地址We have lived our lives in a land of dreams!

上海龙凤shlf最新地址How sad it seems.

 

Sweet, there is nothing left to say

But this, that love is never lost,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Keen winter stabs the breasts of May

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Whose crimson roses burst his frost,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Ships tempest-tossed

Will find a harbour in some bay,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And so we may.

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And there is nothing left to do

But to kiss once again, and part,

Nay, there is nothing we should rue,

I have my beauty, - you your Art,

Nay, do not start,

One world was not enough for two

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Like me and you.
