HOMEWARD.

1

There's sunshine in my heart I trow,
My own love, my true love;
For homeward, homeward speed I now—
Feel'st thou my coming too, love?

2

The way that looked but bleak before,
My true love, my own love,
Wears blither face than once it wore,
When I had left thee lone, love.

3

The flowers I saw not in the night,
My fair love, my sweet love,
Wave, as I pass their greetings bright,
I'll give thee when we meet, love.

4

There's not a thing that hath God's grace,
My sweet love, my fair love,
But makes me think of thy sweet face,
And love thee more than e'er, love.
