And dewy splendors everywhere
And heavenly breaths OF rose perfume:

With never word for me or mine
Nor smile, forever and a day
We guess your meaning and rejoice
In what has come to you-the need
Beyond the search OF mortal voice!
And only in the song. indeed
With you forever, as the song
It's morning, and the days are long.
Grave fears are entertained concern
