None Too Soon Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

The moon is shining through the mist
upon the bench where we first kissed.
So long ago, so long ago
I know you know how much you’re missed.


I must return from time to time
recalling happiness sublime.
So long ago, so long ago
Although we hadn’t got a dime.

Whilst you were here I was content
to make you happy my intent.
So long a go, so long ago.
My heart went with you when you went.

I know you did not choose to go
and leave me in this world of woe
So long ago, so long ago.
Your early death a hammer blow.

My turn will come I pray quite soon
I tell my secret to the moon
But she well knows, yes she well knows
My death will come as a great boon.

On wings of love I will soar high
towards the brightness in the sky
and none too soon yes none too soon
We’ll be together you and I.
