IF THOU COULD'ST KNOW

       If thou could'st know
The love I bear to thee,
Is boundless and as free
As great Eternity,
       Thou would'st love me.

       If thou could'st know
The thoughts I bear of thee,
That cherished memory,
So full of sympathy,
       Thou would'st love me,

       If thou could'st know
The love that is so slain,
That all enduring pain
I bear for thee in vain,
       Thou would'st love me.
