Ah, never, would come back to town!
When suddenly, there I beheld you
Yourself—ah, the joyous amaze!
I wonder what instinct impelled you
Your dreamy dark eyes to upraise,
That for one happy second's communing
Met mine that had waited so long—
And the wail of the violins tuning
It turned to a jubilant song!
'Mid organ-chords sombre and mellow
