D7 G
and I seek there in vain by the meadow and stream.

Oft I breathe out your name to the winds floating by,
D7 G
but the sweet voice is mute to my cry.

In the stillness of night when the stars mightily shine,
D7 G
my heart fondly holds a communion with thine.

For I feel thou art near and where e'er I may be,
D7 G
that the spirit of love watches me.
G D
Of the birds in the bower now companion I make,
D7 G
every simple wildflower I prize for the sake.
G D
Deep woods and dark clouds can now pleasure impart,
D7 G
for the solitude suits my poor heart.
G D
Thou art gone from my gaze, yet I will not repine,
D7 G
e'er long we shall meet in a home that is thine.
G D
For I feel thou art near and where e'er I may be,
D7 G
that the spirit of love watches me.
