I saw thee’weep
the big bright tear
Came over that eve of blue
And then me thought it did appear
A violet dropping dew
I saw thee’ smile
the sapphire’s blaze
Beside thee’ceased to shine
It could not match the living rays
That filld’that glance of thine
As clouds from yonder sun receive
A deep and mellow dye
Which scarce the shade of coming eve
Can banish from the sky
Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
Their own pure joy impart
Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
That lighens over the heart
