Subject(s): Absence; Love - Loss Of; Pain; Tears; Separation; Isolation; Suffering; Misery
THESE flowers would lose their wistfulness,
And dance to celebrate our love,
This twilight stay her wing to bless
If you were here!
With your two hands for priceless cup
This brook would yield the wine of life,
And we in ecstasy would sup
If you were here!
I should not feel the pain of years
Vibrating in the thrush's song,
Nor watch the west through falling tears
If you were here!
