"Have we not loved each other wise and well?"

Transcendental Sonnet #1198:
Come Back to Me My Love!

for Silke

You sought me out you snatched me out of hell
Out of the dark your voice of light again
Called me and echoed hope in me through pain

Have we not loved each other wise and well?

If anyone can do it Silke you
Who are my dream can make this dream come true
Of two as one triumphant in this life

I as your husband and you as my wife

I am a child I know but I refuse
To let death separate my love from me
I cannot let go of you cannot lose
This only hope which I have ever known

Come back to me my love! Come back and choose
Life in my arms... nor leave me die alone
