'<br>But I reach on out to touch her<br>Almost blinded by my tears, <br>When her shadow fades before me<br>As she turns, and disappears! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And I'm driving through the night<br>Toward some future, cold and bleak, <br>With her sitting close beside me<br>Though we very rarely speak, <br>While the anger and the hurt has<br>Ravelled, rabid at my brain, <br>When she said: ‘You know it's over! '<br>Then I knew - I was insane! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">For the darkness closed around me<br>On that narrow strip of road, <br>And this dream that would confound me<br>Kept repeating, like some ode, <br>That the world had somehow narrowed<br>To the pinpoint of a beam, <br>So I swerved into the darkness<br>And I heard Lystrata scream! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">There are phantoms moving greyly<br>At the other side of sleep, <br>And their voices still dismay me<br>As I make that final leap, <br>For ‘How long? ' would seem to echo<br>And re-echo through my tears, <br>As another phantom whispers: <br>‘Well, it's all of twenty years! '</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And Lystrata stands before me<br>As the blood runs down her face, <br>‘Once you said that you'd adore me, <br>But you leave me little grace! '<br>Then she leaves me in the darkness<br>And the mist, for me to weep, <br>At the outer edge of darkness<br>On the other side of sleep! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">David Lewis Paget</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=David+Lewis+Paget">David Lewis Paget</a><div class=q>

Of the landscape makes me weep, 
For Lystrata, like a phantom
Glides and shimmers through the trees, 
As her hair trails out behind her
At the slightes..."></div>
