And lovers dream beneath those skies,
Which shine no more for you and me.
No more, ah, nevermore! and yet
They seem so near, those summer days,
When Hope was like a jewel set
To shine adown Time’s misty ways;
I sometimes dream that morning’s light
Will bring them back to us once more,
And that ’tis but one long dark night
Since we two parted by the shore.
