I should not dare to leave my friend
Because—because if he should die
While I was gone—and I—too late
Should reach the Heart that wanted me
If I should disappoint the eyes
That hunted—hunted so—to see
And could not bear to shut until
They "noticed" me—they noticed me
If I should stab the patient faith
So sure I'd come—so sure I'd come
It listening—listening—went to sleep
Telling my tardy name
My Heart would wish it broke before
Since breaking then—since breaking then
Were useless as next morning's sun
Where midnight frosts—had lain!
I should not dare to leave my friend
Because—because if he should die
While I was gone—and I—too late
Should reach the Heart that wanted me
If I should disappoint the eyes
That hunted—hunted so—to see
And could not bear to shut until
They "noticed" me—they noticed me
If I should stab the patient faith
So sure I'd come—so sure I'd come
It listening—listening—went to sleep
Telling my tardy name
My Heart would wish it broke before
Since breaking then—since breaking then
Were useless as next morning's sun
Where midnight frosts—had lain!
