TO AN ABSENT WIFE.
IT'S morn-thc sea- breeze seems to bring
JOY, health, and freshness on its wing
Bright flowers, to me all strange and new,
Are glitering in tho carly dew
And perfumes rise from every grove
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon welkin clear
But am sad-thou art not here.
IT'S noon-a calm, unbrokcn sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep
A soft haze like fairy dream
Is floating over wood and stream
md many broad magnolia flower.
Within its shadowy woodland bower,
Is cleaning like lovely star
But am sad--thou art afar.
IT'S eve-ou earth the sunset skies
Arc painting their own Eden dyes
The stars come down and trembling glow
Like blossoms in the waves below
And, like some unseen spritc, the breeze
Seems lingering mid these orange trees
Breathing its music round tue spot .
But am sad see thee not.
Ills midnght-with soothing spell e- s...I
The far tones of the ocean swell
Soft as mothers cadence mild
Low bending Ger her sleeping child
And on each wandering breeze heard
The rich notes of the moe king bird
In many wild and wondrous lay
But am sad--thou art away.
sink in dreams-low sweet and clear,
Thy own dear voice is in my ear
Around my cheek thy trcsscs Irvine
Thy own loved hand is clasped in mine
Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed
Thy head is piilowe1 on my breast
Oh = have all my heart holds dear
And am happv-thou art here.
