Echo

Lyrics

Come to me in the silence of the night; Come in the speaking silence of a dream; Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright As sunlight on a stream; Come back in tears O memory, hope, love of finished years Oh dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet Whose wakening should have been in Paradise Where souls brimfull of love abide and meet; Where thirsting longing eyes Watch the slow door That opening, letting in, lets out no morе Yet come to me in drеams, that I may live My very life again tho' cold in death: Come back to me in dreams, that I may give Pulse for pulse, breath for breath: Speak low, lean low As long ago, my love, how long ago
