First lines

Once more, once more! That golden eventide!

Golden within, without all cold and grey, Slowly you came forth from the troubled day, Singing my heart -- you glided to my side;

You glided in; the same grave, quiet face, The same deep look, the never-ending light In your proud eyes, eyes shining through the night, That night of absence -- distance -- from your place.

Calm words, slow touch of hand, but, oh, the cry, The long, long cry of passion and of joy Within my heart; the star-burst in the sky --
