How false the joys tOndly knew;
When night and slumber round me hover,
In dreams at least find thee true.
Though, all the days long hours OF sadness,
NV weary life flow on i'll pain,
The night shall bring unwonted gladness
And give thee to my soul again.
Once more thy lips with warm impression
Shall lay their gentle seal on mine;
Again with shrinking, sweet confession,
Thy tender eyes before me shine.
Thy cheek with my cheek softly meeting,
Thy twining arms around me thrown,
I'll watch how fast the night is fleeing,
Aud count thy heart-beats through mine
own.
Oh, happy night, and weary waking,
When dawns the day-star, cold and blue
IT'S daylight tells how hearts are breaking
In dreams alone I find thee true!
