My child oh only blessing Heaven allows me | B |

Ancestors and allies or many children | E |
I have but thee thee only Some are rich | F |
Thou art my treasure thou art all my riches | G |
And some believe in angels I believe | H |
In nothing but thy soul Others have youth | I |
And woman's love and pride and grace and health | J |

My soul is tortured If I should ever lose thee | B |
Horrible thought I cannot utter it | O |
Smile for thy smile is like thy mother's smiling | P |
She too was fair you have a trick like her | Q |
Of passing oft your hand athwart your brow | R |
As though to clear it Innocence still loves | S |
A brow unclouded and an azure eye | T |
To me thou seem'st clothed in a holy halo | U |
My soul beholds thy soul through thy fair body | B |
E'en when my eyes are shut I see thee still | V |
Thou art my daylight and sometimes I wish | W |
That Heaven had made me blind that thou might'st be | B |
The sun that lighted up the world for me | B |
