Listen ... hear the silence of the eerie hallowed halls. Empty footsteps echo where there's none there left to call. Sunshine... Just a memory Of happiness once gained. Laughter... long forgotten pass in ghostly moonlight rare. Then in dreams of windswept mist her hand upon his heart. There in dreams they ever live two lovers... never lost. When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face... William Butler Yeats |
