For you....

It was but yesterday we met in a dream
You have sung to me in my aloneness,
and I of your longings have built
a tower in the sky.

But now our sleep has fled
and our dream is over, and
it is no longer dawn.

The noontide is upon us and
our half waking has turned
to fuller day, and we must part.

If in the twilight of memory
we should meet once more,
we shall speak again together
and you shall sing to me
a deeper song.

And if our hands should meet
in another dream we
shall build another tower in the sky.
