Tonight I close my eyes and see me passing by, The years before I saw your face. They pass, the shy years, As one half blind with tears. The years went by and never knew That each one brought me back to you; Their path was narrow and apart And yet it led me to your heart— -From The Years, by Sara Teasdale Edited by Jason Meyer
