You, Who Once More Brightly Shone Poem by Stephen Brooke

You, Who Once More Brightly Shone



You have drifted from my heart,
On your separate, silent way;
Though I had hoped, of all I've known,
You, at least, might stay.

There is come an empty place,
Where your memory long lay;
When young, we promised not to part-
'Friends for life, ' we'd say.

You, who once more brightly shone,
Grow now fainter, day by day;
I can no longer see your face:
Time has dimmed your ray.
