I Have Come To Take Away My Love

I have been thinking about you All night long And re-thinking, asking myself Which is the mid-point Between now and eternity And in that one night I lived three centuries into the past And three others into the future (Into the dim regions Whence my fathers came And into a void Far from my native clime) And in that one night, too, I peered deep into your heart And saw seated there As on a pile of loot Cupid…silently beckoning! Ha, ha! ha! I have come To take away my love! And you whose faces I see Remain invisible to Wanja!
