The river flowed through meadows green <br />I saw the wild rose, pink and serene. <br />There came a voice from beyond the blue, <br />An angel from heaven said - it was you. <br /> <br />Resting beneath the rays of the sun, <br />I gazed at the sky to talk with my one. <br />The breezes blew sweet whispers to me <br />Across the mountain and waves of the sea. <br /> <br />The hymn you sang was 'O Love Divine' <br />I heard your dear voice and you heard mine. <br />But as the sun went down in the evening sky <br />There was no sound...just your last goodbye.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sad-sad-story/
