First Line: If I were in the valley-land
Last Line: Beside me, love, in my despair.
Alternate Author Name(s): Radford, Ernest, Mrs.
Subject(s): Despair
IF I were in the valley-land,
And you far up the mountain blue,
Would you just turn and wave your hand,
And bid me strive to follow you?
If I were in the tossing sea,
And you upon the quiet shore,
Would you send out your help to me,
And bid me to my life once more?
If I were cast from Heaven's gate,
And you within so glad and fair,
I know you would come forth and wait
Beside me, love, in my despair.
