IN SOLITUDE
Contentment breathes from your bosom,
Peace from your shaded eyes,
Hold me closer to you
That I may know where my happiness lies.
Just gaze at me, gaze longer,
Prolonged is the sorrow I’ve borne,
But your smile now falls upon it
Like a sunray at the break of morn.
My soul is light and gay now,
So peaceful, warm, unstirred,
The eyes with tears are moistened;
How could this have occured?
