Explore "Was it some Golden Star?" by Gilbert Parker on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Once in another land, / Ages ago, / You were a queen, and I, / I loved you so: / Where was it that we loved -- / Ah, do you know?
Was it some golden star / Hot with romance?
Was it in Malabar, / Italy, France?
Did we know Charlemagne, / Dido, perchance?
But you were a queen, and I / Fought for you then: / How did you honour me -- / More than all men!
Kissed me upon the lips; / Kiss me again.
Have you forgotten it, / All that we said?
I still remember though / Ages have fled.
Whisper the word of life, -- / "Love is not dead. "
