by Florence Earle Coates (1850 - 1927)
Go not too far
Language: English
Go not too far, too far beyond my gaze, Thou who canst never pass beyond the yearning Which, even as the dark for dawning stays, Awaits thy loved returning ! Go not too far ! Howe'er thy fancies roam, Let them come back, wide-circling like the swallow, Lest I, for very need, should try to come And find I could not follow !
