Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - If I Had Known You
Work rating: Low

If I had known you--oh, if I had known you!
 In other days when youth and love were strong,
 I would have raised a temple to enthrone you
 On some fair pinnacle of cloudless song.

 If you had touched me then with your dear laughter,
 As now its echo smites me in my grief,
 I would have given my soul to you, and after
 Lived in my love, grown old in my belief.

 If you had loved me,--oh, you would have loved me!
 Earth would have worshipped us, its seers sublime,
 My song had been a psalm, and Saints had proved me
 Prophet and priest, your poet for all time.
