" "
My Love stood by me at the dawn of day,
And said, 'To grief you make my heart a prey,
What I am casting looks of love at you,
Have you no shame to turn your eyes away?
All my life long I tread love's path of pain,
It peradventure 'union' I may gain
Better to catch one moment's glimpse of Thee
Than earthly beauties' love through lite retain.
