You were so much younger than I, we did not try <br />to reason or wonder why, we were in love <br />The very depths of soul <br />Your eyes to me met just a glance, a look of love <br />for all to view, I did the same, for I loved you <br />But that was quite some time ago, where you <br />are now, I must not know <br />Some day by chance may hold your hand, <br />and then perhaps I'll understand <br />Why life does play the loving game, for me to <br />trust, no one to blame <br />Perhaps you hold a place on high, for me a glance <br />your beauty view, and maybe then in the bye and bye <br />a glance of love shall meet my eye <br />But now in dreams I see your face, your beauteous <br />smile can ne'er erase <br />In sunshine walk once more with you, the fields, <br />the clover, the vineyards too <br />So now I look to Heaven high, the brightest star <br />up in the sky <br />So bright at night, e'er twinkle still <br />See you once more, if be God's will<br /><br />John Leroy Maxwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/star-bright-2/
