Quietly Burning Still, by Eve Adam
Can it be too hastily
My heart has tried to fill
The emptiness where an ember lies,
Quietly burning still?
With a trembling hush and a speechless joy,
Spellbound I stood aware
Of the miracle of love aglow---
Love I had thought was dead.
But now, questions, like smoke,
Cloud feeling and thought.
Questions, like smoke,
Cloud feeling and thought.
This new love I feel---
For whom is it real?
For him, or the awakend memory
Of the one I may see no more?
The light of love I saw in his eyes---
Was it there or was it only reflected?
His eyes!
His eyes!
Have they hypnotized my heart
That must love or die?
Again I am asking why
With a trembling hush and a speechless joy
Spellbound I stood aware
Of the miracle of love aglow---
Love I had thought was dead.
But now, questions, like smoke,
Cloud feeling and thought.
Questions, like smoke,
Cloud feeling and thought.
Can it be too hastily
My heart has tried to fill
The emptiness where an ember lies,
Quietly burning still?
