"THOU WILT THINK OF ME."
When other forms are round thee,
In other, happy hours,
And other joys have bound thee,
Their festal wreath of flow'rs
When other smiles are dancing,
In mirthfulness and glee,
And other eyes are glancing,
So full of light, to thee.
When music-tones are ringing,
A vescer-symphony,
And Memory is bringing,
Her visions back to thee.
Oh! let some thrilling measure,
Some floating, heart-felt strain,
Awake some banished pleasure,
Some olden joy again
Then mid those forms around
Those other scenes of glee,
Where festal joys have crowned thee
I know thou'lt think of me.
