When I Have That In Memory

When I have that in memory
I had but once in sight
Though I have lost it I can see
It by an inward light;

If I am steeped in darkness now
But I remember when
I saw something, no matter how
It looked to me back then,

I know that once it has been seen,
Though what I saw is past
That sight remains the major mean
To make its moment last;

Although it stays invisible,
Removed from outward sense
Insight and longing for light will
Deliver it from thence.
