Haughs of Crumdel (2)/I've Dreamt That Thou Art Fading

I'VE DREAMT THAT THOU ART FADING.

I've dreamt that thou art fading,
⁠If thou'rt fading, love, for me———
O resume thy early beauty,
⁠For I am not false to thee.
The feelings that pervade thee,
⁠May have touch'd this heart as sore;
Yet thy charms have ever bade me
⁠Behold thee, and adore.

I've mov'd among the many
⁠Who were beautiful and gay,
And since last mine eyes beheld thee,
⁠I have wander'd far away.
Yet among each joyous circle,
⁠O my heart return'd to thee———
All was cheerless, all was sunless,
⁠For thou wert not there with me.
