Love thou hast wandered far and wide
But here thy wanderings cease
Thy long sought mate is by thy side l
And thou canst sleep in peace.

Night moans outside our window pane
And weeps from dripping eaves
The air is thick with falling rain
Upon dead autumn leaves.

The winds of winter rave and chafe
Around thy tranquil nest
But I am here, and thou art safe
Thy very soul may rest.

The wild surf thunder swells and falls
Upon the seething beach
Thy world within thy chamber walls
Nor winds nor waves can reach.

Sleep fired eyes! Sleep well dear heart
That ached so long for me
No sudden hand shall tear apart
These arms that shelter thee.

Sleep well though late found joys be brief
And bought with tears and pain
Shut out the memory of thy grief
Thou didst not grieve in vain.

Think of our treasure kept in store
And not the price it cost
Those precious years that come no more
Which thou and I have lost.

O wasted years that lie behind
Hush what is past is past
Enough that we have lived to find
What life is worth at last.

Though Fate has robbed us of so much
We know not what we miss
All ills are recompensed in such
A priceless good as this.

Sleep dearvThe hours are passing on
The midnight bells have tolled
Think not how much of life is gone
But how much more we hold.

Yes more as wise men reckon life
Though no wise man can tell
How soon for husband and for wife
The stroke of doom will knell.

No echo of that solemn chime
Break through thy perfect peace
No forecast of that awful time
When time for us will cease.

When happier worlds shall shine in space
For other eyes to see
And none have any more a place
For thy true love and thee.

Be blind to all and deaf and dumb
In thy quick heart's despite
Content thee though the end must come
It will not come to night.

This night let never thought of ill
Disturb thy slumber deep
To morrow I shall have thee still
So thou canst safely sleep.

Reprieved from that appalling fear
As from thy long regret
Be our last parting far or near
We have not reached it yet.

Thy head lies pillowed on my breast
My cheek upon thy brow
Dear love good night! Thou art at rest
From Past and Future now.
