 | The Poems of Richard Watson Gilder |  |
SONG
I awoke in the morning not knowingWhat it was that had set my heart glowing;
Something had come to me
That was the sum to me
Of all human happiness—crown of life's bliss.
Tho' drowsyhead sleep its image might blot,
I knew it was there, tho' its shape I forgot.
My mind was blue sky with nothing but joy in it;
446
No cloud dimmed the blue;
Then I said: “Shall I miss
My nameless, new bliss?”
When sudden it came
Like lightning, like flame;
And, ah, it was this—
It was you!
