A
Extract from 'I Think of Thee'
When I consider how my light is spent,
Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
And that I am poor 'Dumb as an owl,' to tell
My thoughts to my own heart, and hide my grief
In silent shadow, I think of thee.
How often, in the quiet of my mind,
Thy gentle words, like streams of silver, flow,
And lift my spirits from their heavy load.
In this solitude, I find solace in thy voice,
A beacon shining through my gloom and gloom.
Thy memory, a flame that burns so bright,
Guides me through the shadows of my despair,
And in my heart, I hold thee close and tight,
An everlasting love beyond compare.
