Lucy Maud Montgomery - As the Heart HopesLucy Maud Montgomery - As the Heart Hopes
Work rating: Low


It is a year dear one, since you afar  Went out beyond my yearning mortal sight­ A wondrous year! perchance in many a star  You have sojourned, or basked within the light Of mightier suns; it may be you have trod  The glittering pathways of the Pleiades,  And through the Milky Way`s white mysteries Have walked at will, fire-shod. You may have gazed in the immortal eyes  Of prophets and of martyrs; talked with seers Learned in all the lore of Paradise,  The infinite wisdom of eternal years; To you the Sons of Morning may have sung,  The impassioned strophes of their matin hymn,  For you the choirs of the seraphim Their harpings wild out-flung. But still I think at eve you come to me  For old, delightsome speech of eye and lip, Deeming our mutual converse thus to be  Fairer than archangelic comradeship; Dearer our close communings fondly given  Than all the rainbow dreams a spirit knows,  Sweeter my gathered violets than the rose Upon the hills of heaven. Can any exquisite, unearthly morn,  Silverly breaking o`er a starry plain, Give to your soul the poignant pleasure born  Of virgin moon and sunset`s lustrous stain When we together watch them ? Oh, apart  A hundred universes you may roam,  But still I know­I know­your only home Is here within my heart!
