Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Verses
Sometimes I heard your footfall drawing near; And with a thrill of gladness open wide I flung my door to bid you welcome, dear. Sometimes you did not even speak to me, But left me quickly when our eyes had met And you had kissed me - ah, how tenderly! Light were the tasks the busy day had set; I had grown braver for the sight of you; Out of your sight I was not left alone. A thousand times across the land and sea Your loving thoughts straight to my heart have flown, Returned from that far country of the stars. Again you find me in the quiet room, Your angelhood has lent your love fleet wings To make the journey through the evening's gloom. How can I miss you, though the days are long And dark with sorrow since I saw you die, Though like a dream my changed life seems to me, With all its pleasures stolen suddenly? Who is so alive as he the world calls dead! What heart so loving as the heart that waits. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
