Though you were at a distance
E. Squire
Though you were at a distance,
Were upon some far-off island,
Such the spell I cast upon you,
Such the magic power of passion,
I could straightway draw you to me!
Though you were far from me
In the land of Sleep and Silence,
Still the voice of love would reach you!
Naked lies your heart before me,
To your naked heart I whisper!
