Arthur Symons - Two Love-Songs
Work rating: Low

I do not know if your eyes are green or grey 
Or if there are other eyes brighter than they; 
They have looked in my eyes; when they look in my eyes I can see 
One thing, and a thing to be surely the death of me. 

If I had been born a blind man without sight. 
That sorrow would never have set this wrong thing right; 
When I touched your hand I would feel, and no need to see 
The one same thing, and a thing the death of me. 

Only when I am asleep I am easy in mind, 
And my sleep is gone, and a thing I cannot find; 
I am wishing that I could sleep both day and night 
In a bed where I should not toss from left to right. 


II 
O woman of my love, I am walking with you on the sand, 
And the moon`s white on the sand and the foam`s white in the sea; 
And I am thinking my own thoughts, and your hand is on my hand, 
And your heart thinks by my side, and it`s not thinking of me. 

O woman of my love, the world is narrow and wide. 
And I wonder which is the lonelier of us two? 
You are thinking of one who is near to your heart, and far from your side; 
I am thinking my own thoughts, and they are all thoughts of you.
