The dark of night greets the day
And a restless heart it finds;
Peering through that cloud of gray
That loneliness hides behind.
And with heavy weight of heart
Treading light on golden rays;
A quest on which the soul embarked
To find where love might lay.
Down each and every wooded path
And fork in road I turned;
In each wading pool and mountain bath
No stone I left unturned.
But once upon this day it seems
Hence came the sun and yawned;
You were stirring in my dreams
When first my love had dawned!
