Robert W Service - PremonitionRobert W Service - Premonition
Work rating: Low


`Twas a year ago and the moon was bright    (Oh, I remember so well, so well); I walked with my love in a sea of light,    And the voice of my sweet was a silver bell.        And sudden the moon grew strangely dull,            And sudden my love had taken wing;        I looked on the face of a grinning skull,            I strained to my heart a ghastly thing. `Twas but fantasy, for my love lay still    In my arms, with her tender eyes aglow, And she wondered why my lips were chill,    Why I was silent and kissed her so.        A year has gone and the moon is bright,            A gibbous moon, like a ghost of woe;        I sit by a new-made grave to-night,            And my heart is broken it`s strange, you know.
