“And so it was—our tearful hearts did cling
And twine together even in sorrowing;
And we became as one—her orphan boy
Lisped the word ‘Father,’ as his dark eyes gazed,
With their expressive glance of timid joy,
Into my face, half pleased and half amazed.
And we did dwell together, calmly fond
With our own love, and not a wish beyond.”
