A LOVE-THOUGHT, by                    
First Line: The thought of you is like a breath of spring
Last Line: That while I live I never shall forget.
Subject(s): Love


The thought of you is like a breath of spring,
Sweet with a promise even as the wind;
It warms my heart again and clears my mind,
And sets the flowers of pleasure blossoming.
Love, like a bird, returns with it to sing;
Life leaves the shadows everywhere behind; --
It bubbles up and hastens forth to find
The sunshine bright with buds and birds a-wing.

And, like the fragrance of the woodland breeze,
This precious thought is sweet with memories
Of long ago when we as children met, --
Of other days which you for me made bright
With so much happiness and love and light
That while I live I never shall forget.
