TO —
-
- When passion’s trance is overpast,
- If tenderness and truth could last
- Or live, whilst all wild feelings keep
- Some mortal slumber, dark and deep,
- I should not weep, I should not weep!
-
- It were enough to feel, to see
- Thy soft eyes gazing tenderly,
- And dream the rest—and burn and be
- The secret food of fires unseen,
- Couldst thou but be as thou hast been.
-
- After the slumber of the year
- The woodland violets re-appear,
- All things revive in field or grove,
- And sky and sea, but two, which move,
- And for all others, life and love.
