To One Slain in Absence - ZaunköniG - 29.04.2012 To One Slain in Absence And so we parted, love, oblivious That we are parting! With our laughter light, Flouting the future, on the morrow bright At our old tryst we would once more discuss The wonder of our love miraculous: While even then Fate waited, swift to smite. So you have gone, large-eyed, across the Night, And I stand straining widowed arms! Yet thus I want your memory - no tears, no pain, No presage of chill death, nor any fears; Your wide glance bridging all eternity With one calm faith. It's not an augury That somewhere in the tangle of the years Your laughter and your lips I'll find again? |
