SINGING AND SIGHING.
23
    And the gloom without us
     Seemed to find a rest
    In the gathering shadows
     Hidden in my breast,
      When my heart was sighing.

    Between song and sighing
     Not a day had flown,
    Not a change had fallen
     Save on me alone;
Shade or light, dark or bright, from my spirit still
Came the bloom, came the gloom, painting good or ill;
    So through all the seasons,
     Every day departs,
    Painted with the changes
     Of our changing hearts,
      Sighing thus, or singing.
