THE look that thy sweet eyes on mine impressThe pledge thy lips to mine convey,--the kiss,--He who, like me, hath knowledge sure of this, Can he in aught beside find happiness?
Removed from thee, friend-sever'd, in distress,These thoughts I vainly struggle to dismiss:
They still return to that one hour of bliss, The only one; then tears my grief confess.
But unawares the tear makes haste to dry:
He loves, methinks, e'en to these glades so still,--And shalt not thou to distant lands extend?
Receive the murmurs of his loving sigh;
My only joy on earth is in thy will,Thy kindly will tow'rd me; a token send!
