PASSING THY DOOR.
Oh! 't was the world to me,
Life too, and more;—
Catching a glance of thee
Passing thy door.
Faint as an autumn leaf
Trembling to part;
So, in that moment brief,
Trembled my heart!
Life too, and more;—
Catching a glance of thee
Passing thy door.
Faint as an autumn leaf
Trembling to part;
So, in that moment brief,
Trembled my heart!
Nothing I saw but thee,
Nothing could find;—
Vision had fled from me,
Lingering behind!
How I had passed along,
How found my way,
Sightless amidst the throng—
Love could but say!
Nothing could find;—
Vision had fled from me,
Lingering behind!
31
How found my way,
Sightless amidst the throng—
Love could but say!
How I had moved my feet
I never knew;
I had seen nothing, sweet,
Since I'd seen you!
Oh! 't was the world to me,
Life too, and more—
Catching a glance of thee,
Passing thy door.
I never knew;
I had seen nothing, sweet,
Since I'd seen you!
Oh! 't was the world to me,
Life too, and more—
Catching a glance of thee,
Passing thy door.
