If It Should Come To Be

Title:     If It Should Come To Be
Author: William Ernest Henley [More Titles by Henley]

If it should come to be,
This proof of you and me,
This type and sign
Of hours that smiled and shone,
And yet seemed dead and gone
As old-world wine:

Of Them Within the Gate
Ask we no richer fate,
No boon above,
For girl child or for boy,
My gift of life and joy,
Your gift of love.

[The end]
William Ernest Henley's poem: If It Should Come To Be
