by Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton (1803 - 1873)
Clifford's Serenade
Language: English
There is a world where every night My spirit meets and walks with thine; And hopes — I dare not tell thee — light Like stars of Love — that world of mine! Sleep! — to the waking world my heart Hath now, methinks, a stranger grown — Ah, sleep! that I may feel thou art Within one world that is my own!
Confirmed with Edward Bulwer Lytton, Paul Clifford, London, Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, 1830, page 185.
