THOU AND I
Sit we now alone together
In the early autumn weather!
From our nest the birds have flown
To fair dreamlands of their own,
And we see the days go by,
In silence—thou and I!
In the early autumn weather!
From our nest the birds have flown
To fair dreamlands of their own,
And we see the days go by,
In silence—thou and I!
Storm and stress are over!
O my friend and lover,
Closer now we lean together
In the Indian-summer weather;
See the bright leaves falling, falling,
Hear the low winds calling, calling,
Glad to let the world go by
Unheeding—thou and I!
O my friend and lover,
Closer now we lean together
In the Indian-summer weather;
See the bright leaves falling, falling,
Hear the low winds calling, calling,
Glad to let the world go by
Unheeding—thou and I!
Winter days are over!
O my life-long lover,
Rest we now in peace together
Out of reach of changeful weather!
Not a sound can mar our sleeping—
Breath of laughter, or of weeping,
May not reach us where we lie
Uncaring—thou and I!
O my life-long lover,
Rest we now in peace together
Out of reach of changeful weather!
Not a sound can mar our sleeping—
Breath of laughter, or of weeping,
May not reach us where we lie
Uncaring—thou and I!
