Lucy Maud Montgomery - As the Heart Hopes

Lucy Maud Montgomery - As the Heart Hopes

It is a year dear one, since you afar br Went out beyond my yearning mortal sight­ br A wondrous year! perchance in many a star br You have sojourned, or basked within the light br Of mightier suns; it may be you have trod br The glittering pathways of the Pleiades, br And through the Milky Way's white mysteries br Have walked at will, fire-shod. br br You may have gazed in the immortal eyes br Of prophets and of martyrs; talked with seers br Learned in all the lore of Paradise, br The infinite wisdom of eternal years; br To you the Sons of Morning may have sung, br The impassioned strophes of their matin hymn, br For you the choirs of the seraphim br Their harpings wild out-flung. br br But still I think at eve you come to me br For old, delightsome speech of eye and lip, br Deeming our mutual converse thus to be br Fairer than archangelic comradeship; br Dearer our close communings fondly given br Than all the rainbow dreams a spirit knows, br Sweeter my gathered violets than the rose br Upon the hills of heaven.
