SPIRIT of Loveliness! Heart of my heart! <br />Flying so far from me, Heart of my heart! <br />Above the eastern hill, I know the red leaves thrill, <br />But thou art distant still, Heart of my heart! <br /> <br />Sinning, I’ve searched for thee, Heart of my heart! <br />Sinning, I’ve dreamed of thee, Heart of my heart! <br />I know no end nor gain; amongst the paths of pain <br />I follow thee in vain, Heart of my heart! <br /> <br />Much have I lost for thee, Heart of my heart! <br />Not counting the cost for thee, Heart of my heart! <br />Through all this year of years thy form as mist appears, <br />So blind am I with tears, Heart of my heart! <br /> <br />Mighty and mournful now, Heart of my heart! <br />Cometh the Shadow-Face, Heart of my heart! <br />The friends I’ve left for thee, their sad eyes trouble me— <br />I cannot bear to be, Heart of my heart!<br /><br />Henry Kendall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deniehy-s-lament/
