Christina Georgina Rossetti

Somewhere Or Other

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, may be 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, may be 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.
