Smile of Affection.
Is there a light whose effulgence can dry
The tear of affliction, and rapture restore?
'Tis the bright sunny ray of a love-beaming eye,
The smile of affection from one I adore.
The tear of affliction, and rapture restore?
'Tis the bright sunny ray of a love-beaming eye,
The smile of affection from one I adore.
I'd sigh not for grandeur, for fame, or for wealth,
But, thankful for little, would wish for no more,
If blest with a cottage, with friendship, and health,
And the smile of affection from one I adore.
But, thankful for little, would wish for no more,
If blest with a cottage, with friendship, and health,
And the smile of affection from one I adore.
