After Two Days.

Topics: classic

Another night has turned itself to day,          Another day has melted into eve,         And lo! again I tread the measured way          Of word and thought, the twain to interweave,          As flowers absorb the rays that they receive.         And, all along the woodland where I stray,         I think of thee, and Nature keeps me gay,          And sorrow soothes the soul it would bereave.         Nor will I fear that thou, so far apart,          So dear to me, so fair, and so benign,         Wilt un-desire the fealty of a heart          Which evermore is pledg'd to thee and thine,         And turns to thee, in regions where thou art,          To hymn the praises of thy face divine!
