To M.W.
From the dun heath where scuds the plover,
From moonlit pastures starred with dew,
Long since my heart has flown to cover
With you.
From moonlit pastures starred with dew,
Long since my heart has flown to cover
With you.
Now, though Life lifts a warning finger
And climbing shadows dusk the blue,
Yet here my heart is fain to linger
With you.
And climbing shadows dusk the blue,
Yet here my heart is fain to linger
With you.
So may Death find us fast abiding
In faith as deep, in love as true,
As when my heart went first in hiding
With you.
In faith as deep, in love as true,
As when my heart went first in hiding
With you.
12th July, 1931.
