[00:47.63]When do I see thee most, beloved one?
[00:58.10]When in the light the spirits of mine eyes
[01:05.22]Before thy face, their altar, solemnize
[01:14.62]The worship of that Love through thee made known?
[01:33.48]Or when in the dusk hours (we two alone)
[01:42.38]Close-kissed and eloquent of still replies
[01:53.04]Thy twilight-hidden glimmering visage lies,
[02:01.81]And my soul only sees thy soul its own?
[02:19.88]
[02:35.16]O love, my love! if I no more should see
[02:40.45]Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
[02:48.68]Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,--
[02:58.09]How then should sound upon Life's darkening slope
[03:10.73]The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
[03:20.06]The wind of Death's imperishable wing?
