A WISH.
I LOVE you. Every morn my waking thoughtIs this. And as the sun dispelled the mistThat purpled all the hills to amethyst;Lighted the valleys into joy, and wroughtA splendor on the sea; waked the birds longStilled in sleep; opened the glad buds wet with dewInto rich-blooms; so does your loving wooMy heart to blossom and my soul to song,And make my morn of life supremely bright.O, heart, dear heart! go with me through life's day!Noon fast approaches—noon, whose flowers areThe consummation of morn's pledged delight,And when that glory shall have died away,And night comes on, your love be evening star!
