But morning brings no 'oys 10 me;
Alas! my spirit only wakes
To know that ain far from thee
In dreams saw thy blessed face,

In dreams felt thy fond embrace:
And to my own thy heart was pressed.
Afar from thee! 'Tis solitude,
Though smiling crowds around me be:
The kind, the beautiful. the good
For | can only think Ofthee;
OF thee. the kindest, loyeliest. best,

Without thee, am all unblest,
And wholly blest with thee alone.
Afar from thee The night is come;
But slumber from my pillow fee;
can not rest so far from home,
And my hearts home Is. love, with thee;
Ikneel before the thrJne OF prayerj
And then know that thou art nigh;
For God who seeth every where,
Bends on us both his watchful eye.
Together in his loved embrace,
No distance can our hearts divide;
Forgotten quite, the mediatB space.

Mytranquil frame then sinks to sleep,
But sOars the spirit far and free;
Oh, welcome be nights slumbers deep,
For then, dear love, am with thee.
