Do You Miss Me Where You Are?

DO YOU MISS ME WHERE YOU ARE?
5223

Do you miss me where you are—
You who held me dear?
While you roam from star to star,
Do you pause to hear
If there be a pleading cry
From the world you knew,
On the restless wind-swept by,
Calling, calling, you?

Does the Long-ago come back—
Or have you forgot?
Does the present something lack
Since the past is not! If my voice from far away
Can but reach vour ear,
Pause an instant, Love, and say
That the Far is Near
