TIS ALL FOR THEE
If life for me hath joy or light,
Tis all for thee,
My thoughts by day, my dreams by night,
Are by of thee, of only thee.
What’er of hope or peace I know,
My zest in joy, my balm in woe,
To those dear eyes of thine I owe,
Tis all from thee.
My heart, ev’n ere I saw thoses eyes,
Seem’d doom’d to thee;
Kept pure till then from other ties,
‘Twas all for thee, for only thee.
Like plants that sleep, till sunny May
Calls forth their life, my spirit lay.
