Till To-Morrow.

Topics: classic

Long have I longed, till I am tired     Of longing and desire;     Farewell my points in vain desired,     My dying fire;     Farewell all things that die and fail and tire.     Springtide and youth and useless pleasure     And all my useless scheming,     My hopes of unattainable treasure,     Dreams not worth dreaming,     Glow-worms that gleam but yield no warmth in gleaming,     Farewell all shows that fade in showing:     My wish and joy stand over     Until to-morrow; Heaven is glowing     Through cloudy cover,     Beyond all clouds loves me my Heavenly Lover.
