Poem: Her Voice

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Poem: Her Voice

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址The wild bee reels from bough to bough

上海龙凤shlf最新地址With his furry coat and his gauzy wing,

Now in a lily-cup, and now

Setting a jacinth bell a-swing,

In his wandering;

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Sit closer love:  it was here I trow

上海龙凤shlf最新地址I made that vow,

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址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,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址As long as the sunflower sought the sun, -

上海龙凤shlf最新地址It shall be, I said, for eternity

上海龙凤shlf最新地址'Twixt you and me!

Dear friend, those times are over and done;

Love's web is spun.

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址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

上海龙凤shlf最新地址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

上海龙凤shlf最新地址On some outward voyaging argosy, -

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Ah! can it be

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,

Keen winter stabs the breasts of May

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,

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,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Nay, there is nothing we should rue,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址I have my beauty, - you your Art,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Nay, do not start,

One world was not enough for two

Like me and you.
