Out of the wild and weary night
SEQ The morning softly rise !; 10 fesF
But OIL my lovely, lovely eyesl 4 =
The world 3 din without your light.
I see the young buds break and start ~ z
To lresaer life when trusts arc o'er;
But oil my rose-Fcd mouth no more
wllkiss Of yours delight ny heart.
The worm that knows no hope nor trust
Comes forth with glorious wigs dispreadi
But, OH my little golden head!
] Sc you only in the dust
Ihear The calling Of The lark,
Despite the cloud, despite The rainl
But, Oh my snow-whiie hands in vain
search to ind you through the dark.
When The strong whirlwinds rage Is DER,
A whisper bids the land rejoice;
But, oh : my gentle, gentle voice
Your music gladdens me no more.
Bat though no earthly joy disPcl
The gloom that fills my life with voc
Ny sweetest and my best know
That you are still alive and Will
Alive and well, o blisshl thoughtI
10 some sweet cline, 1 know not yherei.
IUAlg know that you are there y ~
And sickness, pain. and death are not.

Like angel music, float the notes along.

From thy worn henfts its many gems and rare !
And ldi when little dreamed, pure soul lendeth
