When You Thought I Was 'Far Away', I was Dreaming, Etc.: 19 -
But is it any crime to love you so
That I would have you sitting ever near,
Ready to help my patient labour, dear,
And all depression's fiends to overthrow?
Is it a wrong that I would have you here
To aid the lagging moments as they go
And speed the silent hours with glances clear?
Is love condemned, when love doth overflow?
A little distance seems quite " far away, "
Because my heart would have you close indeed.
After clear sunshine e'en the moon looks grey
And wretched, — and so urgent is my need
That, since I cannot cry " For ever stay! "
The smallest absence makes my spirit bleed.
That I would have you sitting ever near,
Ready to help my patient labour, dear,
And all depression's fiends to overthrow?
Is it a wrong that I would have you here
To aid the lagging moments as they go
And speed the silent hours with glances clear?
Is love condemned, when love doth overflow?
A little distance seems quite " far away, "
Because my heart would have you close indeed.
After clear sunshine e'en the moon looks grey
And wretched, — and so urgent is my need
That, since I cannot cry " For ever stay! "
The smallest absence makes my spirit bleed.
