Went out bey...It is a year dear one, since you afar<br />Went out beyond my yearning mortal sight<br />A wondrous year! perchance in many a star<br />You have sojourned, or basked within the light<br />Of mightier suns; it may be you have trod<br />The glittering pathways of the Pleiades,<br />And through the Milky Way's white mysteries<br />Have walked at will, fire-shod. <br /><br />You may have gazed in the immortal eyes<br />Of prophets and of martyrs; talked with seers<br />Learned in all the lore of Paradise,<br />The infinite wisdom of eternal years;<br />To you the Sons of Morning may have sung,<br />The impassioned strophes of their matin hymn,<br />For you the choirs of the seraphim<br />Their harpings wild out-flung. <br /><br />But still I think at eve you come to me<br />For old, delightsome speech of eye and lip,<br />Deeming our mutual converse thus to be<br />Fairer than archangelic comradeship;<br />Dearer our close communings fondly given<br />Than all the rainbow dreams a spirit knows,<br />Sweeter my gathered violets than the rose<br />Upon the hills of heaven. <br /><br />Can any exquisite, unearthly morn,<br />Silverly breaking o'er a starry plain,<br />Give to your soul the poignant pleasure born<br />Of virgin moon and sunset's lustrous stain<br />When we together watch them ? Oh, apart<br />A hundred universes you may roam,<br />But still I know I know your only home<br />Is here within my heart!<br /><br />- L. M. MontgomeryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
