“An Evening Reverie”
I miss you, my dari ng, my darling;
The embers burn low on the hearth;
And stilled is Ilia stir of the household
And hushed is the voice of its mirth
Tht rain plashes fast on the terrace,
The winds past the lattices moan,
The midnight ohimes out from the
minster
And I am alone.
“I want you, my darling, my darling;
I am tired with care and with fret;
I would nestle in silence beside you,
And all but your presence forget,
In the hush of the hapiness given,
To those, who through trusting have
grown
To the fullness of love in contentment,
But I anualone.
“I call you, my darling, my darling;
My voice echoes back on my heart,
I stretch iny arms to you in longing,
And lo! they fall empty, apart.
I whisper the sweet words you taught m >,
The worffs that we only have known
I ill the blank of the dumb air is bitter,
For r am alone.
"I need you, my. darling, my darling;
With its yearning my very heart aches,
The load that divides us weighs harder,
I shrink from the jar that it makes.
Old sorrow rise up to beset me;
Old doubts make their spirit their own.
Oh, eomo through the darkness and
save me,
For I am alone.
