James Whitcomb Riley - Reach Your Hand To Me

2014-11-10 1 Dailymotion

Reach your hand to me, my friend, <br />With its heartiest caress-- <br />Sometime there will come an end <br />To its present faithfulness-- <br />Sometime I may ask in vain <br />For the touch of it again, <br />When between us land or sea <br />Holds it ever back from me. <br /> <br />Sometime I may need it so, <br />Groping somewhere in the night, <br />It will seem to me as though <br />Just a touch, however light, <br />Would make all the darkness day, <br />And along some sunny way <br />Lead me through an April-shower <br />Of my tears to this fair hour. <br /> <br />O the present is too sweet <br />To go on forever thus! <br />Round the corner of the street <br />Who can say what waits for us?-- <br />Meeting--greeting, night and day, <br />Faring each the self-same way-- <br />Still somewhere the path must end.-- <br />Reach your hand to me, my friend!<br /><br />James Whitcomb Riley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reach-your-hand-to-me/
