You're here again - and of a sudden br A warmth long gone floods my dead heart, br And all I thought forgot, unbidden br Returns, of me becomes a part. br br Just as spring's breath may soft come stealing br Upon the air on late fall's day br And rouse in us a vanished feeling br Of life, of something young and gay - br br So of past years do I recover br The richness, and on your sweet face br With all the ardour of a lover br In reawakened rapture gaze. br br Too long apart, drawn are we nearer br Once more - you're here, 'tis not a dream! br Sounds, ne'er within me stilled, the clearer br At sight of you and louder seem. br br Remembrance?- No! The rustling pages br Of life turn fast - life's full again. br Your loveliness stays ever changeless, br My love for you unchanged remains.
