Poems That Live
"AT THE MID HOUR OF NIGHT."
At the mid hour of night, when stars are weeping, I fly
To the lone vale we loved, when life shone warm in thine
eye;
And I think oft, if spirits can steal from the regions of air
To revisit past scenes of delight, thou wilt come to me there.
And tell me our love is remembered even in the sky.
Then I sing the wild song twas once such rapture to hear.
When our voices comingling breathed like one on the ear:
And, as Echo far off through the vale my sad orison rolls,
I think, O my love! 'tis thy voice from the Kingdom of souls
Faintly answering still the notes that once were so dear.
Thomas Moore (1779-1852).
