I'LL WATCH FOR THEE.
I
I'll watch for thee,From my lonely bower;
Come o'er the sea
At the twilight hour;
Come when the day
Passes away,
Come when the nightingale sings on the tree!
Come, and remove
Doubts of thy love;
But if thou lov'st me not—come not to me!
II
Why didst thou sayI was brighter far
Than the bright ray
Of the evening star?
Why didst thou come
Seeking my home,
Till I believ'd that thy love was sincere?
Oh! if thy vow
Wearies thee now
Though I may weep for thee,—never come here!
