While I seek you, far away

by Siegfried Sassoon
V

While I seek you, far away,
(Yesterday, yesterday,)
Wakeful since we laughed and parted,
How can I recover
Joy that made Elysian-hearted,
Loved and lover?

Can my night-long thoughts regain
Time-locked loveliness and laughter?
Can your presence in my brain
Be rebuilt such aeons after?
Can it be so far away —
Yesterday, yesterday?
