THE HEART'S ANCHOR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Think of me as your friend, I pray
Last Line: Is honor rich enough for me.


Think of me as your friend, I pray,
And call me by a loving name;
I will not care what others say,
If only you remain the same.
I will not care how dark the night;
I will not care how wild the storm;
Your love will fill my heart with light
And shield me close and keep me warm.

Think of me as your friend, I pray,
For else my life is little worth:
So shall your memory light my way,
Although we meet no more on earth.
For while I know your faith secure,
I ask no happier fate to see:
Thus to be loved by one so pure
Is honor rich enough for me.
