Reminiscence - 1936

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 15 Jan 2002

Me thinks that if at eventide I stood
Immersed in fervid memories of thee,
Within the leafy silence of a wood,
Thy spirit might be kind and come to me.
And I perchance might catch the very mood
Wherein I saw thee, Loved thee,
wooed and won thee,
and made thee mine.
And we together, by our fire divine,
Did stay the very course of life,
While this deep love of ours was rife!
E'en though I knew
thou'dst leave me presently,
These empty years might so erased be!
