<poem> | |||
Come to me in the silence of the night; | |||
Come in the speaking silence of a dream; | |||
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright | |||
As sunlight on a stream; | |||
Come back in tears, | |||
O memory, hope and love of finished years. | |||
O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter-sweet, | |||
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise, | |||
Where souls brim-full of love abide and meet; | |||
Where thirsting longing eyes | |||
Watch the slow door | |||
That opening, letting in, lets out no more. | |||
Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live | |||
My very life again though cold in death; | |||
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give | |||
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath: | |||
Speak low, lean low, | |||
As long ago, my love, how long ago. | |||

Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope and love of finished years.
O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter-sweet,
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,
Where souls brim-full of love abide and meet;
Where thirsting longing eyes
Watch the slow door
That opening, letting in, lets out no more.
Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
My very life again though cold in death;
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.
