BACK through the rain and mist Of my far way, I have come, whom you kissed That other day. See, love, I wait outside While the rains fall: Through the night, void and wide, Hark to my call. Do you falter, you who loved So long and well, Now I my love have proved, Breaking Death's spell? Leaving those pale delights Dead folk that thrill, Through their dim days and nights, Wait I your will. Dear love, unbar the door, Life is so sweet! Warmed on your heart once more, My heart shall beat. Snatch me from very Death: Heaven will forgive. Breathe in my lips your breath: Then I shall live. Nay, but you shrink with fear, No welcome speak, -- Now shall the grave be dear, Love is so weak. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DREAM OF EUGENE ARAM, THE MURDERER by THOMAS HOOD FULFILLMENT by ROBERT MALISE BOWYER NICHOLS AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT by MARIA ABDY THE STORM by ANNA A.
