I know you only by your tears ... I felt them falling on my face. I had wakened on a hush of dark, And lay I knew not in what place. O lady, not a dream was mine! Despair had told the truth to me, And I was fearful of life's call, And bitter with my destiny. But the warm touches of your soul Guided me to the darkened years. Sweet reconciler of my days, I know you only by your tears. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A VALEDICTION: OF WEEPING by JOHN DONNE PIANO by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE SERENADE by JEAN FRANCOIS VICTOR AICARD ONE WOMAN by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH EPIGRAM by DECIMUS MAGNUS AUSONIUS THREE MINUS ONE (REFRAIN SUGGESTED BY DR.
