Poems (E. L. F.)/Song—"Light of my soul"
SONG.
Light of my soul, I'll think of thee
When the daylight breezes die,
And the shadows of evening steal over the sea
And curtain the azure sky.
When the daylight breezes die,
And the shadows of evening steal over the sea
And curtain the azure sky.
I'll think of thee in the dreamy hours
That hush my soul at night;
And I'll think of thee by the fairy bowers
That smile in the summer's light.
That hush my soul at night;
And I'll think of thee by the fairy bowers
That smile in the summer's light.
I'll think of thee when joy is mine
In every hour of gladness;
And my fond heart will turn to thine
In hours, long hours, of sadness.
In every hour of gladness;
And my fond heart will turn to thine
In hours, long hours, of sadness.
I'll think of thee—oh! I will twine
Fond memories with thee yet;
And while thy heart will echo mine,
We never can forget.
Fond memories with thee yet;
And while thy heart will echo mine,
We never can forget.
