I love you though you never were... Nor ever could exist... Except in labyrinths of the mind, Among those psychic mists. A vision; optical delight... Green eyes, and raven hair... The grace of some vague nymph, or sprite You're waiting for me there. Where? Beside the crystal sea- Whose waves lap at my feet... Where unicorns and satyrs, gay- So joyfully meet. Where winds of perfume Streets of gold... seize, and hold a spell Upon unwary sojourners... And make them wish to dwell... Among the long forgotten scenes That only legends knew... Where gems, and jewels lie about Thick as the morning dew. I love you though you never were- And yet you know me well- And every vagary of mood... Ere cometh you can tell. You know my heart and all my faults And love me just the same.. And in my melancholy dreams I hear you call my name. Your name? I know it, 'deed I do- But I shall never tell.... And even though you never were- My dear, i love you well. |
