Now That The Tears
| Now That The Tears written by William Henry Davies |
| From "True Travellers", 1923 | Link to further information |
Now that the tears of love have reached
Their flood-time in my throat,
What thoughts I launch for your sweet sake,
What dreams I set afloat;
How when I've caught you fast asleep,
I'll sit awake and trace
The curved and round perfections in
Your head, your neck and face.
If there is such a passion now,
With so much strength to move,
What shall we do if you inflame
With jealousy that love:
That jealousy, whose eyes can see
More than the deaf and dumb,
And hears far more than one that's blind -
What then shall we become!
