Dear love did you ever feel
When the shades of night draw nigh,
And starlight often steals
From the twinkllng worlds on high,
As you would like TO dwell
Upon dream-land's fairy shore,
With nothing to break the spell,
Or open the crystal door?
The river of time flows by,
We stop at the magical isle;
Hope reareth her castle high,
wreathing each lip with a smile.
The portals are open wide
BY JOY and pleasure to-day,
Either will be our guide
Leading up the dreamy way.
Wonderous beautiful isle,
Bright in the river OF life;
Catching from heaven its smile,
Stunning earth's sorrow and strife.
Flowers bloom bright In this land,
Whispering softly oflove;
Tended by wee fairy hands,
Near to the portals above.
Ianguage would fail TO express,
All you have been unto me,
Or half the dear tenderness,
Circling forever round thee.
Morning, at noon and at night,
When ere / know you away,
Where danger hangs like blight,
never forget to pray.
That our Father on high
May watch from heaven above,
Bidding his angels be nigh
Where ere your footsteps may rove.
Then when life's daylight shall close,
Softly falls the last even,
May we lie down to repose,
Sure of a meeting in heaven.
