“AS 'TWERE TO-NIGHT"

(SONG)

AS 'twere to-night, in the brief space
Of a far eventime,
My spirit rang achime
At vision of a girl of grace;
As 'twere to-night, in the brief space
Of a far eventime.

As 'twere at noontide of to-morrow
I airily walked and talked,
And wondered as I walked
What it could mean, this soar from sorrow;
As 'twere at noontide of to-morrow
I airily walked and talked.

As 'twere at waning of this week
Broke a new life on me;
Tranсings of bliss to be
In some dim dear land soon to seek;
As 'twere at waning of this week
Broke a new life on me!
