Love
Presentiment
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From Early Poems: Songs of Love
Love
Yonder, where the stars glow nightly,
We shall find those joys smile brightly
Which on earth seem far away.
Only in Death’s cold embraces
Life grows warm, and light replaces
Night’s dark gloom at dawn of day.
