Reunited

Title:     Reunited
Author: Gilbert Parker [More Titles by Parker]

Once more, once more! That golden eventide!
Golden within, without all cold and grey,
Slowly you came forth from the troubled day,
Singing my heart--you glided to my side;

You glided in; the same grave, quiet face,
The same deep look, the never-ending light
In your proud eyes, eyes shining through the night,
That night of absence--distance--from your place.

Calm words, slow touch of hand, but, oh, the cry,
The long, long cry of passion and of joy
Within my heart; the star-burst in the sky--

The world--our world--which time may not destroy!
Your world and mine, unutterably sweet:
Dearest, once more, the old song at thy feet.

[The end]
Gilbert Parker's poem: Reunited
