Surprised By Joy <br /> <br />Surprised by joy — impatient as the Wind <br />I turned to share the transport--Oh! with whom <br />But Thee, deep buried in the silent tomb, <br />That spot which no vicissitude can find? <br />Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind-- <br />But how could I forget thee? Through what power, <br />Even for the least division of an hour, <br />Have I been so beguiled as to be blind <br />To my most grievous loss?--That thought's return <br />Was the worst pang that sorrow ever bore, <br />Save one, one only, when I stood forlorn, <br />Knowing my heart's best treasure was no more; <br />That neither present time, nor years unborn <br />Could to my sight that heavenly face restore.<br /><br />William Wordsworth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/surprised-by-joy/
