Always as I close my eyes

E. Coates

Always, as I close my eyes for sleep,

I send my spirit forth to seek your own,

Thus our nightly tryst we ever keep,

So sweetly that I never feel alone.

In a far land of wondrous light, with your twin soul,

I spend the mystic hours of night.

I could not live my days unless I knew

That with their ending I should meet again with you.
