That voice! it spoke but once to me⁠—

That quiet voice is with me now.

Where’er I go my soul is blest;

She meets me there, a cheering light;

And when I sink away to rest

She murmurs near—Good night! good night!

Our earthly forms are far apart;

But can her spirit be so nigh

Nor I a home within her heart?

And Love but dream her fond reply?
