I thought I’d forgotten you, dearie,
But you returned in my golden dream.
The distant years faded you in person,
But again you’re fresh in memory it seems.
Just like the rose wants morning dew,
That’s how my dream makes me want you.
Cruel fate and time has drifted us apart,
I smile on the world, but no one knows my heart.
Oh! let me dream both night and day,
That I may dream my sorrows away
Into a land of passing breeze
To give my heart one moment’s ease.
A SAILOR’S FATE
Lowered deep was the anchor
As the waves rolled high,
With thought of loved ones
Between each sigh.
This was their minds
As they gazed into the sky,
Making peace with their Savior,
For they knew they had to die.
Have mercy on us, Lord, as we pray to Thee
Save us as we’re descending down,
Let us go not, without the holy ground.
Glad hearts often
Through broken hearts ring,
To teach the voice
A little song to sing.
AT EVE
From behind the clouds
Peeps the golden sun,
To kiss the rose,
Because the day is done.
SHE SAID. THEN HE SAID THE REST
Oh! my lovely walk,
Down love’s shady way,
The birds soft, sweet singing
Adds beauty to the day.
