HE LOVES ME
'He loves me!" Yes, I know it well Ixmg ere a, word from lips h*<J flown Hia aco&nte soft .the tale might tell. I heard it in th« tender tone, With happy, timid, beating heart; I in eyes as heaven clear, • Ere came the truth h-is liua apart Fervent and fond, "I love thee, dear!* "With all his heart!" Ah! there came d*yk to. fragrance steeped, in love's own light We basked in sweet affection's x»ys; The gay year passed— a. May morn bright. The bud» of hope, with glad teams wet That decked our way — oh! who may tell? Our trembling souls in kisees met — With all his heart he loves me well. "Through joy and tears!" Ah! there cam* z hours
To try our hearts and prove their worth — When tempests wrecked the blissful bowers
And sunshine faded from the eartih; Yet while above beet sorrow's rain.
A rock k© stood 'mid seas of woes; The billows swept ~ around in vain,
High o'er tihe wave* his true love roso.
He loves me — beyond mark or mind. I Am his life, his Might, his pride; •The wide, wid« world in me he'd find
Were he to lose ihs> world ieside, For love tha-i burns through ihopes and fear* With «qual ray no end may find — "With all his heart, through joy and > tears. He loves me— beyond mairk or mind." — Shavkocx.
