Here you will find thePoemThe Travelling Companionof poet Lord Alfred Douglas
Into the silence of the empty night I went, and took my scorned heart with me, And all the thousand eyes of heaven were bright; But Sorrow came and led me back to thee. I turned my weary eyes towards the sun, Out of the leaden East like smoke came he. I laughed and said, ' The night is past and done ' ; But sorrow came and led me back to thee. I turned my face towards the rising moon, Out of the south she came most sweet to see, She smiled upon my eyes that loathed the noon ; But sorrow came and led me back to thee. I bent my eyes upon the summer land, And all the painted fields were ripe for me, And every flower nodded to my hand ; But Sorrow came and led me back to thee. O Love ! O Sorrow ! O desired Despair ! I turn my feet towards the boundless sea, Into the dark I go and heed not where, So that I come again at last to thee,
