First Line: Night after night under my window

Alternate Author Name(s): Filsinger, Ernest B., Mrs.


Night after night under my window
To and fro paces a shadow;

Is it a man or a ghost I see?
Is it a lover wanting me?

I draw the curtain with caught breath
-- I make no sign, I am free of blame,

Oh is it Love or is it Death,
Are they the same?
