Ah ! Could I clasp thee in mine arms

Language: English

Ah ! Could I clasp thee in mine arms,
And thou not feel me there ;
Asleep, and free from vain alarms,
Asleep, and unaware !

Ah ! Could I kiss thy pallid cheek,
And thou not know me nigh ;
Asleep at last, and very meek
Who wert as proud as I !
