TO POLAND, by                    
First Line: The heart-shaped land that lies beyond the sea
Last Line: The voice I loved was stilled long, long ago.
Subject(s): Poland


The heart-shaped land that lies beyond the sea --
A fairy dream of distant childhood days --
Your radiant vision ever with me stays
And gleams like jewels in my memory.
The verdant shores rise clear before my eyes,
The waving rye with touches of deep blue
And scarlet poppies that are flaming through
The gold beneath such strange and brooding skies.
On mossy rocks I rest while the hours roll,
Listening to the drowsy river's song
And to the voice that always came along
And stirred my being with its tender call.
Ah! But I wake -- and in my heart I know
The voice I loved was stilled long, long ago.
