Young Love XVII - "Canst thou be true across so many miles,"
So many days that keep us still apart? Ah, canst thou live upon remembered smiles, And ask no warmer comfort for thy heart? I call thy name right up into the sky, Dear name, O surely she shall hear and hark! Nay, though I toss it singing up so high, It drops again, like yon returning lark. O be a dove, dear name, and find her breast, There croon and croodle all the lonely day; Go tell her that I love her still the best, So many days, so many miles, away.
