Ernest Christopher Dowson - Terre PromiseErnest Christopher Dowson - Terre Promise
Work rating: Low


Even now the fragrant darkness of her hair   Had brushed my cheek; and once, in passing by,   Her hand upon my hand lay tranquilly:   What things unspoken trembled in the air!   Always I know, how little severs me   From mine heart`s country, that is yet so far;   And must I lean and long across a bar,   That half a word would shatter utterly?   Ah might it be, that just by touch of hand,   Or speaking silence, shall the barrier fall;   And she shall pass, with no vain words at all,   But droop into mine arms, and understand!
