First Line: From life and love and the fresh green grass
Last Line: I do keep on thinking so—of you!
Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Memory; Thought; Thinking
From life and love and the fresh green grass,
The swift running stream and the wild wind—
I turn,—and, lying low—I listen
To the heart beats of the tired old earth,
And look up into the smiling blue
Thinking—always and always—of you.
I lie still and wonder why flowers,
The loveliest, sweetest, most glowing,—
Should be trampled and torn, and young trees
Broken and bent by the storm; for these
Are my loves,—and the sound, far away,
Of your long striding footsteps. I stay
Here forever; the restless movement
Of my human nights slipped into time—
Endless and free—save only one thing—
I do keep on thinking so—of you!
