'If You Were Here'

If you were here
these long grey fields of space
so quaint and yet so drear,
stagnant with age, yet green with corn and palms,
would have new grace.
Could I but hear your voice and feel your arms
the glory of Egypt dawn would seem
more grand, more clear;
an ectasy unrivalled in the wildest dream,
If you were here.
