You're here again - and of a sudden <br />A warmth long gone floods my dead heart, <br />And all I thought forgot, unbidden <br />Returns, of me becomes a part. <br /> <br />Just as spring's breath may soft come stealing <br />Upon the air on late fall's day <br />And rouse in us a vanished feeling <br />Of life, of something young and gay - <br /> <br />So of past years do I recover <br />The richness, and on your sweet face <br />With all the ardour of a lover <br />In reawakened rapture gaze. <br /> <br />Too long apart, drawn are we nearer <br />Once more - you're here, 'tis not a dream! <br />Sounds, ne'er within me stilled, the clearer <br />At sight of you and louder seem. <br /> <br />Remembrance?- No! The rustling pages <br />Of life turn fast - life's full again. <br />Your loveliness stays ever changeless, <br />My love for you unchanged remains.<br /><br />Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-k-b/
