Linger then anear my side—

’Mid them all I see my sister

Through the misty visions glide.

In her love, and in her beauty,

Softly, slowly doth she glide,

O’er the pathway of my day-dream,

As a moon-beam on the tide;

And she whispers close beside me,

Meekly soft, and kindly low,

Words, that kindle up my heart-hopes,
