Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
If only you and I by chance had met
When hearts were free and light enough to sing,
When life and youth for us were at the spring,
We might have loved and wed without regret.
You came too late. The call of life had set
Its seal upon my brow. A wedding ring
Held me in duty bound to every thing
I knew on earth. But I cannot forget!
If you should find today -- or in a year,
Or an aeon hence, upon a distant star --
That you and I, in harmony, could be
United on eternity's frontier,
And though the day when I may come be far.
Wait there, my dearest one, wait there for me.
