ESTRANGED
We stood in the early morning,
We two, by the moss-grown spring,
And we said, "In the journey before us,
Each to each we will fondly cling,
And love over all the pathway
Shall a radiant glory fling;"
We two, by the moss-grown spring,
And we said, "In the journey before us,
Each to each we will fondly cling,
And love over all the pathway
Shall a radiant glory fling;"
"That trust in the truth of the other
Shall ever be perfect and sure,
For hearts that can love as we love,
Will also be strong to endure;
And the faith that we pledge shall ever
Be firm, unshaken and pure."
Shall ever be perfect and sure,
For hearts that can love as we love,
Will also be strong to endure;
And the faith that we pledge shall ever
Be firm, unshaken and pure."
And down in the fountain before us
Looked upward faces twain;
While our hearts held deeper fountains
Mirroring each one face again,
One face to each held the dearest,
And all other beauty was vain.
Looked upward faces twain;
While our hearts held deeper fountains
Mirroring each one face again,
One face to each held the dearest,
And all other beauty was vain.
We gathered a cluster of blossoms
From amongst the moss at our feet,
And folded them close in our bosoms,
As tokens dear and sweet,
That "Forget-me-not" was the motto
Each loving heart should repeat.
From amongst the moss at our feet,
And folded them close in our bosoms,
As tokens dear and sweet,
That "Forget-me-not" was the motto
Each loving heart should repeat.
And then in the radiant sunshine,
Hand fondly clasping hand,
We turned from the moss-edged fountain,
To seek for a path o'er the strand,
That having been safely traversed,
Would end in Love's beautiful land.
