Absent - 1899

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia

Sometimes,
between long shadows on the grass,
The little truant waves of sunlight pass,
My eyes grow dim with tenderness the while,
Thinking I see thee,
Thinking I see thee smile.

And sometimes,
in the twilight gloom, apart,
The tall trees whisper,
whisper heart to heart,
From my fond lips the eager answers fall.
Thinking I hear thee,
Thinking I hear thee call!
