First Line: It seems to me that very long ago
Last Line: I take your hand, and I remember all.
Subject(s): Memory
It seems to me that very long ago,
Across a shining and dividing sea,
I dreamed of love, and the eternal woe,
And that desire which is eternity.
I did but dream that I have made you weep:
I never loved, and you have never wept;
The shining and dividing sea is deep,
And I am very tired of having slept.
Yet, in some hours of these oblivious days,
Suddenly, like a heart-throb, I recall
The passionate enigma of your face,
I take your hand, and I remember all.
