Singing Go I

Topics: classic

Singing go I, seeking for ever a song Sung long ago; I ask no more to hear Her voice that sang - for I should do her wrong, Had I the power, to bring her once more near - Near to the earth, its sorrow or its joy, To drag her back into the arms of pain And Love and all the April flowers again And all her little dreams of heaven destroy. Have I the heart? Ah! had I but the song, The nightingale would listen and all things That talk in waterfalls and trees and strings Would hush themselves to listen as I sang, Had I the song.
