Tears As Ice
When the tears fall
as they surely will
know thy love
is safe with me
until the sun stands still-
For thy countenance
bears upon my heart
and from thy warm embrace
I wish never to be apart-
Whither summers come
and winters surely cease
truly thy forbearance
my only substance
therein my peace-
Until eternal sleep
claims our enduring souls
let us be as one
for apart we are never whole-
