A tear, delaying, seemed to say H
And would have said, if tear could speak
- How shall ever get awsy@'
For ON that bright and velvet ground,
As yet untouched By Time or Care,
No track, no furrow could be found,
And so perforce it fingered there.
A dewdrop in the shining light a.
Of joyous summers golden ray
Will fade and die on roseleaf bright,
And sink in gladness quiteawsy.
So gently died my darling's tear,
By smiles and dimples chased away,
With no more thought of grief or fear,
Than dewdrop has Of winters day.
