WILFRED JOHN - I saw your face

I saw your face

To night I close my eyes and see
A strange procession passing me-
The years before I saw your face
Go by me with a wistful grace;
They pass, the sensitive shy years,
As one who strives to dance, half blind with tears.

The years went by and never knew
That each one brought me nearer you;
Their path was narrow and apart
And yet it led me to your heart-
sensitive shy years, lonely years,
That strove to sing with voices drowned in tears.
