Here you will find the Poem Ah, If You Knew of poet Mathilde Blind

Ah, If You Knew

Ah, if you knew how soon and late 
My eyes long for a sight of you 
Sometimes in passing by my gate 
You'd linger until fall of dew, 
If you but knew! 

Ah, if you knew how sick and sore 
My life flags for the want of you, 
Straightway you'd enter at the door 
And clasp my hand between your two, 
If you but knew! 

Ah, if you knew how lost and lone 
I watch and weep and wait for you, 
You'd press my heart close to your own 
Till love had healed me through and through, 
If you but knew!
