A Confession.

1 found this record OF the olden time,
This mute confession Of my heart and soul;
I write 1t now that you may know the whole
OF that one secret.
Dear, you We're the rhyme
OF lifes sweet poem; where you passed the cline
OF Eastern skies descended, while there stole
Across my way the joy of saints!
Waves roll
Where once heard sweet bells in music chime
I hope that peace down all the avenues
OF life may go with you; that there shall fall
Through nights of starry silence living dews
From crystal founts flowers, one and all,
OF your hands planting.
This, dear would choose,
with charmed Aladdin speeding at your call!
