Counting the Beats... Robert Graves... |
You, love, and I, (He whispers) you and I, And if no more than only you and I What care you or I? |
Counting the beats Counting the slow heart beats, The bleeding to death of time in slow heart beats, Wakeful they lie. |
Cloudless day, Night, and a cloudless day; Yet the huge storm will burst upon their heads one day From a bitter sky. |
Where shall we be, (She whispers) where shall we be, When death strikes home, O where then shall we be Who were you and I? |
Not there but here, (He whispers) only here, As we are, here, together, now and here, Always you and I. |
Counting the beats Counting the slow heart beats, The bleeding to death of time in slow heart beats, Wakeful they lie. |
