A VOICE FROM AFAR
A VOICE FROM AFAR
Distance makes the voice so sweet.
It flies from a heart to greet,
Bringing words of softest kind
That it picks from distant land.
On its way it finds a key
For your heart that waits with spree
Whose charm comes from distant place
Choosing your heart for its grace.
That long journey sharpens lure
Which your heart fails to endure.
It would craze you to get near,
But where are you from that dear?
Echo has such an effect
As its source is not direct.
It comes from an obscure place
Which your heart would pant to trace.
