AH, HAD I SEEN THEE SOONER!, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Ah, had I thee but sooner seen
Last Line: All withered on life's tree!
Subject(s): Love


AH, had I thee but sooner seen,
Though e'en for one brief hour,
That happy moment would I bless
While dying lips had pow'r!

Ah, had I thee but sooner loved,
Thou pure light of my soul!
I'd envy not the fate of those
Whom angel hosts enroll.

Ah, had I thee but sooner loved,
Although in dreamland free,
My hope's fair blossoms would not hang
All withered on Life's tree!
