Poem 85 (The light was dark without thee…)
by Mary Elizabeth Coleridge (1861–1907)
The light was dark without thee, My bird of April days, I almost came to doubt thee When thou hadst gone thy ways— The sunshine round about thee— Into the land of rays. The light was dark without thee, My bird of April days.
