Somewhere Or Other

By Christina Georgina Rossetti

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.
