I WOULD WE HAD NOT MET AGAIN.
I would we had not met again!
I had a dream of thee,
Lovely, though sad, on desert plain,
Mournful on midnight sea.
I had a dream of thee,
Lovely, though sad, on desert plain,
Mournful on midnight sea.
94
What though it haunted me by night,
And troubled through the day?
It touched all earth with spirit-light,
It glorified my way!
And troubled through the day?
It touched all earth with spirit-light,
It glorified my way!
Oh! what shall now my faith restore
In holy things and fair?
We met—I saw thy soul once more—
The world's breath had been there!
In holy things and fair?
We met—I saw thy soul once more—
The world's breath had been there!
Yes! it was sad on desert-plain,
Mournful on midnight sea,
Yet would I buy with life again
That one deep dream of thee!
Mournful on midnight sea,
Yet would I buy with life again
That one deep dream of thee!
