The Crown of Love, 1875 by John Everett Millais (English, 1829–1896)

Have I once known you in

Some other place or time?

Were we lovers then,

Winging forward to the now,

Where we find ourselves

United as before?

These eyes, these lips, 

Seeming delightfully new,

Are yet, somehow,

So famliar, and,

Joyful to behold,

To touch once more...

Or so it seems, that

You and I once were one, 

Lost to one another...

Seeking through eternity,

For that one who

Filled and made us whole.

I gaze upon you,

Reach for you, 

In your newness to

This time and place,

And, with wonderment,

Confused by familiarity 

And ease, must ask,

In this now and here...

Have I known you in

Some other place or time?
