5 quotes

Ever of thee I'm fondly dreaming,
Thy gentle voice my spirit can cheer.

Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream,
And I seek thee in vain by the meadow and stream.

One only hope my heart can cheer,—
The hope to meet again.

Tho' lost to sight to mem'ry dear
Thou ever wilt remain.

Oft in the tranquil hour of night,
When stars illume the sky,
I gaze upon each orb of light,
And wish that thou wert by.
