Constancy

When starlight blends with morning's hue, I miss thee as the flower the dew! When noonday's length'ning shadows flee, I think of thee, I think of thee!

With evening, memories reappear-- I watch thy chair, and wish thee here; Till sleep sets drooping fancy free To dream of thee, to dream of thee!

Since first we met, in weal or woe It hath been thus; and must be so Till bursting bonds our spirits part And Love divine doth fill my heart.
