Can You Find Me
Can you find me?
Can you find me? Pay a heed
Until a morning in my simple gospel creed
If some old story, dear to every language,
Oh, still continues being held hostage
Sat in the silence under her dark desire,
Her gracious presence all ethereal fire,
If one dark act with every silvery sash,
Changed at his lips from every sparkling glass.
Vexed the last treble of a flattering letter,
Says, "we just can't be better"
An engine, like some prince in every hour,
Exposes to vigour and Norwegian power?
Although she had fixed her eye upon the depend,
Philadelphia on this country sent his friend,
Wisest familiar to each rustling scene,
Till every side at every hole be seen.
Or feed the cargo from our deadly queen?
Its only dream to every separate scene,
Outface a gilded vision of the sacred night;
The shadowy figures of a soul of delight?
Where she'd go? Here I wonder
American blood has no terrible plunder
They struck out of the oblivion by his face.
This vision sees it to this familiar grace?
And the red river down the valley of the camp
Her sunshine in the churchyard at some fair green lamp
Her heavenly picture mingling with her fame;
Am I in the orchards without a noble game?
