I love him

I love him; I dream of him;

I sing of him by day;

And all the night I hear him talk,

And yet -- he's far away!

There's beauty in the morning;

There's sweetness in the May;

There's music in the running stream;

And yet -- he's far away!

I love him; I trust in him;

He trusteth me alway;

And so the time flies hopefully,

Although -- he's far away!
