When tears well up behind one’s eyes

And wrenching sobs turn into sighs

When laughing bids to overtake

One’s spirit, and then to rake

The very soul that lives within

Then comes the thought of what has been…

The love that was, that is, that will

Stay with one now, that all is still

And then, on high one’s soul will ride

Upon a cloud in heaven’s tide

One doubts there is a sweeter thought

Then joining thus which God hath wrought!! …
