YOU AND I
What would you say
If you were I,
And I were near,
And no one by;
If you were I?
If you were I,
And I were near,
And no one by;
If you were I?
What would you do
If you were I,
And night were dark,
And none were nigh?
What would you do?
If you were I,
And night were dark,
And none were nigh?
What would you do?
348
What would I say
If I were you,
And none were near,
And love were true?
What would I say?
If I were you,
And none were near,
And love were true?
What would I say?
What would I do?
Just only this.
And on my cheek
Soft lit a kiss.
This did she do!
Just only this.
And on my cheek
Soft lit a kiss.
This did she do!
I heard a cry,
And through the night
Saw far away
A gleam of white,
And there was I!
And through the night
Saw far away
A gleam of white,
And there was I!
But not again
This she was I;
Yet still I loved,
And years went by.
Ah, not again!
This she was I;
Yet still I loved,
And years went by.
Ah, not again!
1890.
