Violet Van der Elst
Out of the Past
From Collected Works composed by Violet Van der Elst, The Doges Press, London, 1937
Oh! my beloved, Oh! my dear heart
My voice is calling you from the past,
Dear heart of mine, Oh! those memories sweeping through my mind
In one long sad refrain
In one long sad refrain
And I will love you forever more
With my lonely days
And sweet thoughts of you dear,
Where is your spirit my love
For which I’m seeking day and night
It will not come to me
Though I have waited so long
And I will wait again, searching for my love one.
And I will find you, and our spirit will unite again.
