Distance

Were you to cross the world, my dear,

To work or love or fight,

I could be calm and wistful here,

And close my eyes at night.

 












Were you to cross the world, my dear,
To work or love or fight,
I could be calm and wistful here,
And close my eyes at night.
It were a sweet and gallant pain
To be a sea apart;
But, oh, to have you down the lane
Is bitter to my heart.
Distance - By Dorothy Parker
