Poems (Tynan)/Love's Watchfulness
LOVE'S WATCHFULNESS
When you awake I wake,
And when you sleep I sleep.
Your lightest sigh will break
My sweetest dreams and deep.
And when you sleep I sleep.
Your lightest sigh will break
My sweetest dreams and deep.
My heart watches aware
Whether I wake or sleep.
Though far in dreams I fare,
Call, and my heart will leap.
Whether I wake or sleep.
Though far in dreams I fare,
Call, and my heart will leap.
The grave is not so low,
The way to Heaven so steep,
But I should surely know
If my love stirred in sleep.
The way to Heaven so steep,
But I should surely know
If my love stirred in sleep.
What world, what starry sphere
My heart in dreams could keep,
If you wanted me, dear,
If you should wake and weep?
My heart in dreams could keep,
If you wanted me, dear,
If you should wake and weep?
