I know you are with me not . . .

I walked, I know not why or where

I looked, I know not for whom or what,

I cried, for I know not why that you are not there,

I dreamt and know not that I awoke,

I awoke and knew you were with me not.

I walked, the longest, lonely path,

I looked and you I found,

I cried when I kissed those sweetest lips

and dreamt of what may yet be

I awoke and knew you were with me not.

I walked alone, the longest path,

I looked, I know not for why you left

I cried, I remembered your sweetest kiss,

I dreamt it was a dream and hoped to awake

I awoke and knew you were with me not.

I am awake and I know you are with me not

Yet with every step and look,

Each time I cry I dream I am awake

And always in my heart are you And I together

that neither death nor sleep or time can ever take.
