When the brightness leaves my eyes.
And the roses leave my checks;
When my spirit for the skies
Leaves the body trail and weak:
You will bend beside me wan
Crying: Let me speak one word
Sweetcr than the song of bird.
But your prayer viii be unheard
When the light at last has gone!
When the brightness leaves my eyes
You will come and watch by me.
You win give me tears and signs
You viii kiss me tenderlY
You will weep at night or dawn
Crying: "oh. | loved You So
| would follow where you 60,
But my ears shall never know
When the light at last is gone.
When the brightness leaves my eyes
You will picture me in dreams
Wonderful and fair and wise
Walking by celestial streams
With the souls that have passed on
You viii speak the piteous plant
Now ] know your worth, my saint
shall not hear your whisper faint
When the light at last is gone
