WATCH me in the gloaming, Keep my heart from roaming. Let me ever follow In the vale of sorrow. Hold me to thy breast, Give me peace and rest. Stay me in the valley Where the birds may rally. Let me worship gladly At the fane that sadly Mourns the hand of death, Waits in bated breath For its mated lost, Counts the fearful cost: And the heart is glowing While the tears are flowing. Wait for happy days Greeting him who prays, Blessing hearts entwining Clouds with silver lining; Joining melody Mild and threnody: Always in the van Loving God and man. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A GARDEN SONG by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON WALDEINSAMKEIT by RALPH WALDO EMERSON RAIN IN SUMMER by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW LOOKING FORWARD by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON FESTUBERT: THE OLD GERMAN LINE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN DOGS ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS by CLARISSA BUCKLIN TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 4.
