Margaret E. Sangster. At first sight

Margaret E. Sangster

At first sight

Seeing you once, how can I forget

That our eyes have smiled and our hands have met?

That our souls have known and our hearts have cried,

Though our lips were dumb.

Ah, the world is wide,

And love there is for us both to know -

But my eyes were dim as I watched you go!

 

You may wander far, you may come no more,

But you hold the key to the inmost door

Of my heart of hearts!

For our hands have met,

And our eyes have smiled, and I CAN'T FORGET!
