A thousand years ago. Thou and I in Greenwood shade, Nine hundred years ago, Heard the wild dove in the glad Murmuring soft and low; Vowed to love for ever more, Nine hundred years ago. Thou and I in yonder star, ?i-v? i j -Z..1 XJIgUI* UUI1UIVV1 ^wvia Saw strange forms of light afar In wild beauty glow ; All things change, but love endures Ifow as long ago. Thou and I in Norman halls. Seven hundred years ago, Heard the warder ort the walls Loud his trumpet Jblow? "Ton amors sera tojors," Seven hundred years ago. Thou and I in Germany, Six hundred years ago? Theu I bound the red cross on : "True love, I must go? But we part to meet again In the endless flow!" Thou and I in Syrian plains, Five hundred years ago, Felt the wild fire in our veins io a lever giuw : AH things die, but love lives oil Now as long ago. Thou and I In shadow land Four hundred years ago, Saw strange flowers bloom on Strand, Heard strange breezes blow ; In the ideal love is real, This alone I know. Thou and I In Italy, Three hundred years ago, Lived in faith and died for God, Felt the fagots glow; Ever new and ever true, Three hundred years ago. Thou and I on Southern seas, Two hundred years ago, Felt the perfumed even breeze, JSpoke in Spanish by the trees, Had no care or woe; Life went dreamily in song Two hundred years ago. Jhou and I 'mid Northern snows, One hundred years ago, jLed and an iron, silent life, And were glad to flow On wards into changing death, One hundred years ago.
