COME TO ME.

Come to me, loved one, from thy heaven descending,

Come to me softly, with the falling dews;

Come when the shadows and the lights are blending,

And the heart fondly all its past renews.

Come to me, loved one,

As I sit and muse.

Come to me in the hushed, dark midnight hour,

Fall with thy spirit gladness on my heart,

Let me embrace thee in the deathless power
