Dinah Maria Mulock - A Spirit Present
Work rating: Low

IF, coming from that unknown sphere 
Where I believe thou art,-- 
The world unseen which girds our world 
So close, yet so apart,-- 
Thy soul`s soft call unto my soul 
Electrical could reach, 
And mortal and immortal blend 
In one familiar speech,-- 

What wouldst thou say to me? wouldst ask 
What, since did me befall? 
Or close this chasm of cruel years 
Between us--knowing all? 
Wouldst love me--thy pure eyes seeing that 
God only saw beside? 
O, love me! `T was so hard to live, 
So easy to have died. 

If, while this dizzy whirl of life 
A moment pausing stayed, 
I face to face with thee could stand, 
I would not be afraid: 
Not though from heaven to heaven thy feet 
In glad ascent have trod, 
While mine took through earth`s miry ways 
Their solitary road. 

We could not lose each other. World 
On world piled ever higher 
Would part like banked clouds, lightning-cleft 
By our two souls` desire. 
Life ne`er divided us; death tried, 
But could not; Love`s voice fine 
Called luring through the dark--then ceased, 
And I am wholly thine.
