Here you will find the Poem I Think of Thee in Watches of the Night of poet Mathilde Blind

I Think of Thee in Watches of the Night

I think of thee in watches of the night, 
I feel thee near; 
Like mystic lamps consumed with too much light 
Thine eyes burn clear. 

The barriers that divide us in the day 
And hide from view, 
Like idle cobwebs now are brushed away 
Between us two. 

I probe the deep recesses of thy mind 
Without control, 
And in its inmost labyrinth I find 
My own lost soul. 

No longer like an exile on the earth 
I wildly roam, 
I was thy double from the hour of birth 
And thou my home.
