All the dreams that my young heart knew,

And through my soul do the yearnings thrill

As of old they were wont to do;

I know in truth when his face I see,

I shall fall at his shining feet,

Where'er it be and whoever is he,

In the light of his glances sweet.

I wait in vain for the sounds that rise

From the tread of his horse's hoof,

And still the mists hide his form away
