You ere mv comfort and my life My very life yon mm I think of you nil dac all niht Tia bat cf you I dreamt There's pleasure in the lightest word That you can apeak to me; Mv soul i like the JE ilian chord, And vibrates rill io thee ! I never read the love-song yet, So thrilling,-for: J or true, But in my own h-an, I bare met Some kinder thoughts for you f I hi ess the shadows of your face, The light upon your hair I like for hours to sit and trace The passing change there. I love to hear thy voice's tone, AbhotigS you shnulf not nay A ingle word to dream upon When that has died away. Oh; you are lindlv a the beam That warms where'er it plays, And you are gentle as a dream Of happv future day, And you are strong to do 'he right, And swift the wrong to fiee I . And, if yon were not ha'f so bright,' You're aM the worl i to me.
