Here you will find the Poem I count the days until I see you of poet Lesbia Harford

I count the days until I see you

I count the days until I see you, dear, 
But the days only. 
I dare not reckon up the nights and hours 
I shall be lonely. 
But when at last I meet you, dearest heart, 
How can it cheer me? 
Desire has power to turn me into stone, 
When you come near me. 
I give my heart the lie against my will, 
Seem not to see you, 
Glance aside quickly if I meet your eye, 
Love you and flee you.
