Poems (Craik)/Edenland
OU remember where in starlight We two wandered hand in hand, While the night-flowers poured their perfume, And night-airs the still earth fanned I—There I, walking yester even, Felt like a ghost in Edenland.
EDENLAND.
For Music.
OU remember where in starlight We two wandered hand in hand, While the night-flowers poured their perfume, And night-airs the still earth fanned I—There I, walking yester even, Felt like a ghost in Edenland. I remember all you told me, Looking up as we did stand, While my heart poured out its perfume, Like the night-flowers in your hand; And the path where we two wandered Seemed not like earth but Edenland.
Now the stars shine paler, colder Night-flowers die without your hand; Yet my spirit walks beside you Everywhere, unsought, unbanned. And I wait till we shall wander Under the stars of Edenland.
