And leave thy pensive thoughts at home”—

Wilt thou reply, in that sweet tone:

“The Man who loves me thinks alone,

And thinks of me with many a sigh;

In all his Visions there am I; 10

For me one constant wish he forms,

To shield me from Life’s Cares and Storms;

Still Watchful at my Side to stand

And still present the guarding Hand.

For I can feel no Grief nor Care
