Robert Laurence Binyon - In The Firelight
Work rating: Low

So sad and so lonely, Dear?
 What dream by the fire do you dream
 So deep, that you could not hear
 My step as I entered? Dim
 Is the room and the ceiling above you
 With shadows that leap from the fire:
 But hither, look hither, `tis I
 That am here; it is I, that love you.
 I am come on the wings of desire:
 Far off, I felt you sigh.

 How could my heart refuse
 Your longing that pierced so far?
 That in those clear eyes, that muse,
 Has kindled a mournful star?
 But now, O now no longer
 In the fire your comfort seek.
 I bring love brighter than flame,
 Than the sunshine warmer and stronger.
 I cherish your hands; O speak,
 Look on me, and speak my name!
