I have been here before
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door
The sweet keen smell
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore
You have been mine before, --
How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow's soar
Your neck turned so
Some veil did fall, -- I knew it all of yore
Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time's eddying flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite
And day and night yield one delight once more?
