She shall be coming on this date. <br />First I pray, then i wait; <br />And beg the road afar my gate <br />To bring her quick to me. <br /> <br />Pretty angel, sweet and true, <br />Priceless calm as morning dew, <br />Fair as gold and much more worth- <br />Heavens whispered at her birth: <br /> <br />She is beautiful, <br />She is calm. <br /> <br />I met her before I knew her, <br />And knew her before I met her. <br />Cold at first, then warm as sun <br />All my earth in she undone. <br /> <br />I shall sing and jump and rejoice, <br />To feel again her voice. <br />Soft as passion, tender and wise, <br />Lost and found inside her eyes. <br /> <br />And I shall give her a hug. <br />Or shall I kiss? <br />A hole inside my heart she dug. <br />And tell of my eternal miss: <br /> <br />For it is you i miss- <br />It is you i miss.<br /><br />August Landing<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/maria-will-be-here/
