THIS SUMMER WIND, WITH THEE AND ME, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Alternate Author Name(s): Bell, Ellis
Subject(s): Bad Behavior; Remorse


This summer wind with thee and me
āàRoams in the dawn of day;
But thou must be, when it shall be,
āàEre evening-far away.

The farewell's echo from thy soul
āàShould not depart before
Hills rise and distant rivers roll
āàBetween us evermore.

I know that I have done thee wrong,
āàHave wronged both thee and Heaven;
And I may mourn my lifetime long
āàAnd may not be forgiven.

Repentant tears will vainly fall
āàTo cover deeds untrue,
For by no grief can I recall
āàThe dreary word adieu!

Yet thou a future peace shalt win,
āàBecause thy soul is clear;
And I who had the heart to sin
āàWill find a heart to bear.

Till far beyond earth's frenzied strife,
āàThat makes destruction joy,
Thy perished faith shall spring to life,
āàAnd my remorse shall die.
