Alfred Tennyson, Lord Tennyson. 18091892709. O that ’twere possible
O THAT ’twere possible | |
After long grief and pain | |
To find the arms of my true love | |
Round me once again!… | |
A shadow flits before me, | 5 |
Not thou, but like to thee: | |
Ah, Christ! that it were possible | |
For one short hour to see | |
The souls we loved, that they might tell us | |
What and where they be! | 10 |
