Mine own! art thou smiling or weeping,
And dost thou wish I were near thee?

Still wishing that I were with thee?—

Still wishing that I were with thee?—

As dark as to me, without thee?—
Are thy hopes and thy fears but for me?

As dark as to me, without thee?—

One image is present with me;
Hoping, fearing, or smiling, or weeping,
I ever am wishing for thee.
One image is present with me;
Hoping, fearing, or smiling, or weeping,
I ever am wishing for thee.
