Poems (Radford)/If I were in the Valley-Land
IV
If I were in the valley-land, And you far up the mountain blue,Would you just turn and wave your hand, And bid me strive to follow you?
If I were in the tossing sea, And you upon the quiet shore,Would you send out your help to me, And bid me to my life once more?
If I were cast from Heaven's gate, And you within so glad and fair,I know you would come forth and wait Beside me, love, in my despair.
