I AM waiting to send you a song, love, From over the sea, But the way, Oh the way is so long, love, Between you and me, All the music would die, In the waves and the sky, Before it reached thee. I am wanting to tell you my love, love, But you will forget How you lifted your sweet eyes above, love, How their lashes were wet When you wished me good-bye, While the stars filled the sky, And my sad sails were set. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VANISHING BOAT by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE THE CHOIRMASTER'S BURIAL by THOMAS HARDY BY THE PACIFIC OCEAN by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER RIDDLE: TEETH AND GUMS by MOTHER GOOSE WHEN by SARAH CHAUNCEY WOOLSEY FAMILIAR EPISTLE TO A LITTLE BOY by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM |
