"Still you stand, still you listen, still you smile!

Still melts your moonbeam through me, white awhile,

Softening, sweetening, till sweet and soft

Increase so round this heart of mine, that oft

I could believe your moonbeam smile has past

The pallid limit and, transformed at last,

Lies, sunlight and salvation—warms the soul

It sweetens, softens!


What means the sad slow silver smile above
