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 --
The world -- our world -- which time may not destroy!
Your world and mine, unutterably sweet: / Dearest, once more, the old song at thy feet.
