he says not a word but passes staring at what he sees what ghost of us both do you think he saw under the olive trees all the things that are lovely the things you never knew i wanted to gather them one by one and bring them to you but never now my darling can i gather the mountain tips from the twilight like half-shut lilies to hold to your lips and never the two-winged vessel that sleeps below on the lake can i catch like a moth between my hands for you to take but hush i am not regretting it is far more perfect now i'll whisper the ghostly truth to the world and tell them how i know you here in the darkness how you sit in the throne of my eyes at peace and look out of the windows in glad surprise this recording is in the public domain
