Lyrics To One Unknown  by John Alden Carpenter

I have seen the proudest stars
That wander on through space
Even the sun and moon
But not your face

I have heard the violin
The winds and waves rejoice
In endless minstrelsy
Yet not your voice.

I have touched the trillium,
Pale flower of the land
Coral, anemone
And not your hand.

I have kissed the shining feet
Of Twilight, lover-wise
Opened the gates of Dawn:
Oh, not your eyes!

I have dremed unwontеd things,
Visions that witches brew;
Spoken with imagеs
Never with you.
