Wilt thou go with me, sweet maid,
Say, maiden, wilt thou go with me
Through the valley-depths of shade,
Of night and dark obscurity;
Where the path has lost its way,
Where the sun forgets the day,
Where there's nor life nor light to see,
Sweet maiden, wilt thou go with me!
Where stones will turn to flooding streams,
Where plains will rise like ocean waves,
Where life will fade like visioned dreams
And mountains darken into caves,
Say, maiden, wilt thou go with me
Through this sad non-identity,
Where parents live and are forgot,
And sisters live and know us not!
Say, maiden; wilt thou go with me
In this strange death of life to be,
To live in death and be the same,
Without this life or home or name,
At once to be and not to be -
That was and is not -yet to see
Things pass like shadows, and the sky
Above, below, around us lie?

This is lovely. Again, I wish I had known of this poem and had asked my ex-husband what he felt about it. It might have given us both a clue as to whether we belonged together. In the second stanza, the first four lines I find incomparably beautiful.

How passionate a love..
A maiden willing to forget all..
For the love of her life...
I felt the love and the passion in this write.
Exquisitely, beautiful. -
