Ah! happy winds whose wings caress
The form I may not see;
Ah! happy flowers whose petals press
The lips withheld from me;
Ah! happy stones that bear the dint
Of footsteps so divine;
On your cold hearts they leave no print,
But they have broken mine.

Ah! my lost Love, grieve not -- and yet
Sometimes when twilight falls,
And draws the curtain of regret
O'er dusking chamber walls,
Breathe but one prayer for him whose heart
Lies buried 'neath thy feet,
Who fain must bear life's load apart
For thine and Love's sake, Sweet.
