If It Should Come To Be

    By William Ernest 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.
