THE WATERS IMAGE BACK.
The waters image back the skies,
And on their glistening bosom lies
The distant world—the severed star
Still, still as severed and as far!
And on their glistening bosom lies
The distant world—the severed star
Still, still as severed and as far!
Let my heart thus the image bear
Of one than fairest Star, more fair—
Nought else I ask—Oh! more than dear,
Thus only canst thou mine appear!
Of one than fairest Star, more fair—
Nought else I ask—Oh! more than dear,
Thus only canst thou mine appear!
