Overview
Somewhere or other there must surely be The face not seen, the voice not heard, The heart that not yet—never yet—ah, me! Made answer to my word. Somewhere or other, maybe near or far; Past land and sea, clean out of sight; Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the star That tracks her night by night. Somewhere or other, maybe far or near; With just a wall, a hedge, between; With just the last leaves of the dying year Fallen on a turf grown green. At Loschwitz above the city The air is sunny and chill; The birch trees and the pine trees Grow thick upon the hill. Lone and tall, with silver stem, A birch tree stands apart; The passionate wind of spring-time Stirs in its leafy heart. I lean against the birch tree, My arms around it twine; It pulses, and leaps, and quivers, Like a human heart to mine. One moment I stand, then sudden Let loose mine arms that cling: O God! the lonely hillside, The passionate wind of spring!
