High Seas, High Tide
song: to mary
If I had thought thou couldst have died,
I might not weep for thee;
But I forgot, when by thy side,
That thou couldst mortal be;
the time would e'er be o'er,
And I on thee should look my last,
And thou shouldst smile no more!

And still upon that I look,
And think 'twill smile again;
And still the thought I will not brook,
That I must look in vain.
But when I speak- thou dost not say
What thou ne'er left'st unsaid;
And now I fell, as well I may,
sweet mary, thou art dead!

If thou wouldst stay, e'en as thou art,
All cold and all serene-
I still might press thy silent heart,
And where thy smiles have been.
While e'en thy chill, bleak corse I have,
thou seemest still mine own;
but there- I lay thee in thy grave,
And I am now alone!

I do not think, where'er thou art.
Thou hast forgotten me;
And I perhaps, may soothe this heart
In thinking too of thee:
Yet there was round thee such a dawn
Of light ne'er seen before,
As fancy never could have drawn,
And never can restore!


-Wolfe

A beautiful piece indeed.

I used to write under the pseudonym of "Wolfe", but it's certainly not one of mine. Where did you find it?

My mom told me that she didn't know which DEATHCAB FOR CUTIE CD to get me and asked what songs were on it. I told her about the song called "I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK". I sang a couple lines of the lyrics and she said," That reminds me of a poem i've seen." She brought out her diary of memorable poems and quotes and showed me the poem. I still have to ask where she got it from.
