Poems (Chandler)/After the Mountains

​
AFTER THE MOUNTAINS.
[To L. C. B.]
IN my dreams I see the hill-tops Where the cloudy pathways led, You and I have trod together  In the days that now are dead.
Still I see their shining splendors  Height on height before me rise, And the radiance of their glory  Streams across my half-shut eyes.
In my dreams you are beside me,— Still I hear your tender tone, While your soft eyes beam upon me,  And I am no more alone.
​
For with memories I am haunted,  Till the silence seems to beat With the music of your talking  And the coming of your feet.
Turn towards me, from the distance,  Sweetest Heart, your gentle eyes; Though far off I sure shall see them,—  Stars are farther in the skies.
