VOYAGER'S SONG
(Suggested by Hodgson's "The Mystery")
What if I coasted near the shore
Of ultimate utter sleep—
You were the tide that swung me back
Into the living deep.
Of ultimate utter sleep—
You were the tide that swung me back
Into the living deep.
I did not heed what all the world
Held in its proud embrace;
But it was life to hear you speak,
And heaven to see your face.
Held in its proud embrace;
But it was life to hear you speak,
And heaven to see your face.
