Through days of gloom or glad sunlight | B |
There shines a face I have not seen | A |
Which yet doth make my world more bright | B |

What though fate leads us separate ways | E |
The world is round and time is fleet | F |
A journey of a few brief days | E |
And face to face we two shall meet | F |

Shall meet beneath God's arching skies | G |
While suns shall blaze or stars shall gleam | H |
And looking in each other's eyes | G |
Shall hold the past but as a dream | H |

But round and perfect and complete | F |
Life like a star shall climb the height | B |
As we two press with willing feet | F |
Together toward the Infinite | I |

And still behind the space between | A |
As back of dawns the sunbeams play | J |
There shines the face I have not seen | A |
Whose smile shall wake my world to Day | J |
