- And If -
And if the branches tap my pane
And the poplars whisper nightly,
It is to make me dream again
I hold you to me tightly.
.
And if the stars shine on the pond
And light its sombre shoal
It is to quench my mind's despond
And flood with peace my soul.
.
And if the clouds their tresses part
And does the moon outblaze,
It is but to remind my heart
I long for you always.
