To My Love

A love poem: dreams brought back to vibrant life, 'and all because of you.'

To My Love

My dreams that only yesterday
No magic could renew,
Are quick with vibrant life today—
And all because of you.

Could I have guessed so brief a time
Would make my heart your own,
I would have stilled my waking dreams,
And gone my way alone.

But now tis borne upon my mind,
And more than I can bear—
That you should know another life
Beyond my power to share.

Oh, I could bear with better grace,
Could I assured be-
That you would keep a little place
Within your heart for me.
