YOU remember where in starlight <br />We two wandered hand in hand, <br />While the night-flowers poured their perfume, <br />And night-airs the still earth fanned?-- <br />There I, walking yester even, <br />Felt like a ghost in Edenland. <br /> <br />I remember all you told me, <br />Looking up as we did stand, <br />While my heart poured out its perfume, <br />Like the night-flowers in your hand; <br />And the path where we two wandered <br />Seemed not like earth but Edenland. <br /> <br />Now the stars shine paler, colder <br />Night-flowers die without your hand; <br />Yet my spirit walks beside you <br />Everywhere, unsought, unbanned. <br />And I wait till we shall wander <br />Under the stars of Edenland.<br /><br />Dinah Maria Mulock Craik<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/edenland/
