The Song of Youth: Poems
Excerpt from The Song of Youth: Poems
As in sweet childhood's slumberous hours a hand In mother's tenderness seeks for the cheek Of the loved one, gently disturbing sleep Until the child soul stirs and leaves the land Of dreams and wakens, half afraid to speak, So was I for long years within a deep And solemn slumber of the soul, until My heart heard thee approach, and then thy hand Waked me from dreams to Love's Reality. And like the child with speech and soul grown still Bewildered in my joy I looked on thee, And Life grew sweet and I could understand.
