Since I can not, dare, not, send my letters

Through the silence, I will send my heart.

“‘She will hear, while twilight’s shades infold her,

All the gathered love she knows so well;

Deepest love my words have even told her—

Deeper still all I can never tell.’

“Wondering at the strange, mysterious power

That has touched her heart, then she will say:

‘Some one whom I love, this very hour

Thinks of me, and loves me far away!’
