Something to Love Me.

Something to love me, something to bless,

Something to smile upon and to caress;

Something to fill up the void in my heart,

That will not, when sorrow comes o’er me, depart.

Something that loves not as summer friends love,

As true as the star in the blue realms above;

Something with instinct enough to believe,

That will not, like most of earth’s proud ones deceive.

Something to love me, something to bless,
