NINA TO HERVEY.—MISS BREMER.
Canst thou forget, beloved, our first awaking
From out the shadowy realm of doubts and dreams
To know Love's perfect sunlight round us breaking,
Bathing our beings in its gorgeous gleams?
Canst thou forget?
Canst thou forget, beloved, our first awaking
From out the shadowy realm of doubts and dreams
To know Love's perfect sunlight round us breaking,
Bathing our beings in its gorgeous gleams?
Canst thou forget?
A sky of rose and gold was o'er us glowing,
Around us was the morning breath of May;
Then met our soul-tides, thence together flowing,
Then kissed our thought-waves mingling on their way
Canst thou forget?
Around us was the morning breath of May;
Then met our soul-tides, thence together flowing,
Then kissed our thought-waves mingling on their way
Canst thou forget?
Canst thou forget when first thy loving fingers
Laid gently back the locks upon my brow?
Ah, to my woman's thought that touch still lingers,
And softly glides along my forehead now!
