When a sun-cloud gives to the shadow, sleep;

But Immortal love, ever close beside,

Through life’s midnight hours will undimmed abide.

Watch and pray, lone Soul, for the love that lasts;

Sighing not o’er shadows another casts;

Lest a passion-cloud should engulf your way,

Till you, helpless and hopeless, drift astray.
