LOVE IN ABSENCE.
" Midst all the turmoil of the busy day, And in the peaceful stillness of the night, Eecurs thy dear fond name ; whene'er I pray Yearn I to see thy loving face so bright. • All in a mist, whene'er thou art not here, Looms in the distance, phantom-like, thy face; I can, in fancy, darling, feel thee near — Can feel thy power and every soothing grace. Ever within my heart an echoing sound Yields up its tune to Love's untiring hand ; O'er my lone spirit love-born joys abound, Unclouded by a shadow is Love's land. Nor pen, nor voice, my love can ever tell ; God knoweth how I love thee I Darling, farewell !
