Premonition

As we kissed and clung in the passion
Of love's first passionate spell;
There came a shadow between us—
A shadow fell.

So long we had loved and waited,
So weary a time to wait;
Yet a shadow came between us—
A shadow of fate.

I felt your warm arms round me,
The leap and fall of your heart;
But a shadow came between us
To draw us apart.

The blood in our lips was frozen,
I felt your warm arms fall;
A shadow came between us—
The end of all.
