Lyrics: Christina Rossetti
Music: Andrew Steffen
Come to me, come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
as sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope, love of finished years.
(Yet) Come to me in dreams, that I may live
my very life again thoβ cold in death:
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give,
pulse for pulse, breath for breath,
Speak low, lean low,
as long ago, my love, how long ago.
