To one I love
Language: English
If you should go away I would not sorrow, I'd make a stepping-stone of every day, Until I found you, dear - perhaps tomorrow! If you should vanish quite, This world, how hollow! My soul would have no need, no need for love or light, So if you left me, dear, my soul would follow!
