Where Are You So Soon, My Love

Where are you so soon, my love Like a summer night blown away Where are you today, my love Your face on my sleep sings all day Your lips were unbroken honeycomb My desire the humming bumble bee For you, my distant pollen, ever I roam Seeking you in sweet shadows of memory. Shall we meet again ever, ere the sun Sets forever on the howling bar Shall you know I love you as I loved none, My seeming lost and pole-less star.

Sooo beautiful, Shango! This reads like a poem from the British Romantic Period. And that last line is so awesome..."My seming lost and pole-less star." Brilliant work!!!
