Subject(s): Admiration; Hope; Longing; Love; Optimism


SWEETHEART, in thee my hopes behold
The image that their dreams foretold;
In thee my longing eyes can trace
The goal of life's unfinished race, --
The earthly prize of heavenly mould.

The yearnings that I felt of old
For world-wide fame and wealth untold
Are now my homage to the grace,
Sweetheart, in thee.

In summer's heat, in winter's cold,
In autumn's glow of red and gold,
The vision of thy radiant face
Reminds my heart in every place
Of all my circling arms enfold,
Sweetheart, in thee.
