Somewhere or Other
by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

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.
