And kneeling by my side | B |
Laid her head upon my bosom | C |
My beautiful my bride | B |
My lost one with her soft dark eyes | D |
And waves of sunny hair | E |
I smoothed the shining tresses | F |
With tearful fond caresses | F |
And words of thankful prayer | E |
- | |
And then a thrill of doubt and pain | G |
My jealous heart swept o'er | H |
We were parted she was dwelling | I |
Upon a far off shore | J |
Yet He who made my sad heart knew | K |
I loved her more and more | J |
My love more true and perfect grew | K |
As each dark day passed o'er | H |
But she whose heart had been my own | L |
Who loved me tenderly | A |
Whose last low words I knelt to hear | M |
Were How can I leave thee | A |
- | |
And Death would seem as sweet as life | N |
Could we together be | A |
Now though we two were parted | O |
By such a distance wide | B |
By such a strange and viewless realm | P |
By such a boundless tide | B |
Her gentle face was radiant | Q |
With a surpassing bliss | R |
She was happier in that distant land | S |
Than she ever was in this | R |
And in some other tenderness | T |
Some other love divine | U |
She had found a peace and happiness | T |
She never found in mine | U |
- | |
So with a tender chiding | I |
I could not quite suppress | V |
Though well my darling knew | K |
I would not make her pleasures less | V |
Are you happy love I said | W |
Are you happy love without me | A |
Then she raised her gentle head | W |
And twined her arms about me | A |
Yet while my tears fell faster | H |
Beneath her mute caress | V |
Her face had all the glory | A |
Of a sainted soul at rest | X |
And her voice was sweet as music | Y |
I am happy I am blest | X |
- | |
Do you know how lonely hearted | O |
I have been each weary day | Z |
Praying that each passing hour | H |
Would bear my life away | Z |
That we might be united | O |
Upon that distant shore | J |
- | |
Laurence we are not parted | O |
I am with your evermore | J |
- | |
I cannot see you darling | I |
Your face I cannot see | A |
- | |
Can you see the moon's white fingers | A2 |
That leads the pleading sea | A |
Can you see the fragrance lingering | I |
Where summer roses be | A |
The soft winds tender clasping | I |
The close enwrapping air | E |
Enfolding you Oh Laurence | B2 |
I am with you everywhere | E |
- | |
Then while her face grew brighter | H |
As with a heavenly glow | C2 |
In tenderness unspeakable | D2 |
She kissed my lips and brow | E2 |
Then I lost her then she left me | A |
As at the set of day | Z |
The snowy clouds float outward | F2 |
And melt in light away | Z |
I heard low strains of melody | A |
No earthly choir could sing | I |
A light breath floated past me | A |
As from a gliding wing | I |
And on my darkened spirit | G2 |
There fell so bright a gleam | H2 |
I knew the blessed vision | I2 |
Was not in truth a dream | H2 |
Though death had won from my embrace | J2 |
My beautiful my bride | B |
I had won a richer treasure | H |
An angel by my side | B |
- | |
The Father careth for us all | K2 |
In pity and I know | C2 |
My love is not forever gone | L2 |
From him who loved her so | C2 |
When a few more days have drifted | O |
Their shadows over me | A |
When the golden gates are lifted | O |
My angel I shall see | A |
Her veiled face in its glory | A |
Upon my gaze will rise | D |
And Heaven will shine upon me | A |
Through the sweetness of her eyes | D |
