Love Without Wings
(eight songs)
i.
I thought: no more the worst endures
I die, I end the strife,—
You swiftly took my hands in yours
And drew me back to life!
ii.
We sat when shadows darken.
And let the shadows be:
Each was a soul to hearken,
Devoid of eyes to see.
You came at dusk to find me;
I knew you well enough …
O lights that dazzle and blind me—
It is no friend, but Love!
iii.
How is it possible
You should forget me,
Leave me for ever
And never regret me!
