St. Martin's Summer Poem


AS swallows turning backward
When half-way o'er the sea,

At one word's trumpet summons
They came again to me -
The hopes I had forgotten
Came back again to me.


I know not which to credit,

O lady of my heart!
Your eyes that bade me linger,
Your words that bade us part -
I know not which to credit,
My reason or my heart.


But be my hopes rewarded,

Or be they but in vain,
I have dreamed a golden vision,
I have gathered in the grain -
I have dreamed a golden vision,
I have not lived in vain. 

~ Robert Louis Stevenson
