YOU remember where in starlight We two wandered hand in hand, While the night-flowers poured their perfume, And night-airs the still earth fanned? -- There I, walking yester even, Felt like a ghost in Edenland. I remember all you told me, Looking up as we did stand, While my heart poured out its perfume, Like the night-flowers in your hand; And the path where we two wandered Seemed not like earth but Edenland. Now the stars shine paler, colder Night-flowers die without your hand; Yet my spirit walks beside you Everywhere, unsought, unbanned. And I wait till we shall wander Under the stars of Edenland. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE (1) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON JEPHTHA'S DAUGHTER by GEORGE GORDON BYRON ON THIS DAY I COMPLETE MY THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR by GEORGE GORDON BYRON THE SNOWING OF THE PINES' by THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON THE MOWER AGAINST GARDENS by ANDREW MARVELL |
