Love
"Undine"
From The Poems of Henry van Dyke (1925)
Love
'Twas far away and long ago,
When I was but a dreaming boy,
This fairy tale of love and woe
Entranced my heart with tearful joy;
And while with white Undine I wept
Your spirit,--ah, how strange it seems,--
Was cradled in some star, and slept,
Unconscious of her coming dreams.
