AND have I lost thee evermore? <br /> <br />Hast thou, oh fair one, from me flown? <br />Still in mine ear sounds, as of yore, <br /> <br />Thine ev'ry word, thine ev'ry tone. <br /> <br />As when at morn the wand'rer's eye <br /> <br />Attempts to pierce the air in vain, <br />When, hidden in the azure sky, <br /> <br />The lark high o'er him chaunts his strain: <br /> <br />So do I cast my troubled gaze <br /> <br />Through bush, through forest, o'er the lea; <br />Thou art invoked by all my lays; <br /> <br />Oh, come then, loved one, back to me!<br /><br />Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-the-distant-one/
