EUTHANASIA.
I WOKE at water dashing:
At my window, bright as stars,
Two dark brown eyes were flashing
Their love light through the bars.
At my window, bright as stars,
Two dark brown eyes were flashing
Their love light through the bars.
‘Thou cam'st to me in spirit
Amid our mountain streams;—
Now thou shalt woo me waking,
As once thou did'st in dreams.’
Amid our mountain streams;—
Now thou shalt woo me waking,
As once thou did'st in dreams.’
And forth once more in darkness
Twin souls have flown afar;
Lo, yonder in the land of light,
There shines another star.
Twin souls have flown afar;
Lo, yonder in the land of light,
There shines another star.
