Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс)
Just You
All the selfish joys of earth I am getting through. That which used to lure and lead Now I pass and give no heed; Only one thing seems of worth-- Just you. Not for me the lonely height, And the larger view; Lowlier ways seems fair and wide, While we wander side by side. One thing makes the whole world bright-- Just you. Not for distant goals I run, No great aim pursue; Most of earth's ambitions seem Like the shadow of a dream. All the world to me means one-- Just you.
