My darling dear across the seas <br />Would there were an inland breeze <br />To carry quickly to your side <br />Myself, a short time to abide. <br />Before my heart shall beat its last <br />T'would be my wish to hold you fast <br />And for a while my great desire <br />Would bring to me your inner fire. <br />And so I dream, feeling a thrum, <br />To stay within your beating drum. <br />Is this all wrong? It cannot be. <br />Though we are parted by the sea, <br />A singing bond exists it seems <br />And gives some substance to my dreams. <br />Please, beating drum, keep me inside <br />I'll not disturb the rhythmic tide <br />That counts your days and mine as well <br />In love within I'd wish to dwell.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-by-rachel-from-me-to-thee/
