I should not dare to leave my friend,

Because – because if he should die

While I was gone – and I – too late –

Should reach the Heart that wanted me –

If I should disappoint the eyes

That hunted – hunted so – to see –

And could not bear to shut until

They “noticed” me – they noticed me –

If I should stab the patient faith

So sure I’d come – so sure I’d come –

It listening – listening – went to sleep –

Telling my tardy name –

My Heart would wish it broke before –

Since breaking then – since breaking then –

Were useless as next morning’s sun –

Where midnight frosts – had lain!
