Egon's Song
By George Sterling
'Twas far away, 'twas far away, Wild aloe of a night long past! 'Twas but an hour I held thee fast, Who never saw thy face by day. 'Twas long ago, 'twas long ago, I kissed thee through thy loosened hair. I knew that all had found thee fair Until they found no more to know. Far off, long since, we took our bliss, Deluded to a brief embrace. I, who remember not thy face, Somehow cannot forget thy kiss.
