When you go / Edwin Morgan

WHEN YOU GO

When you go, 
if you go, 
and I should want to die, 
there's nothing I'd be saved by 
more than the time 
you fell asleep in my arms 
in a trust so gentle 
I let the darkening room 
drink up the evening, till 
rest, or the new rain 
lightly roused you awake. 
I asked if you heard the rain in your dream 
and half dreaming still you only said, I love you.

Edwin Morgan
