Alternate Author Name(s): Q; Quiller-couch, A. T.
Subject(s): Ignorance; Longing; Dullness; Stupdity
OVER the rim of the moor,
And under the starry sky,
Two men came to my door
And rested them thereby.
Beneath the bough and the star,
In a whispering foreign tongue
They talked of a land afar
And the merry days so young.
Beneath the dawn and the bough
I heard them arise and go—
And my heart it is aching now
For the more it will never know.
Why did they two depart
Before I could understand?
Where lies that land, O my heart—
O my heart, where lies that land?
