When I stood outside the reach of tears and waited patiently
For daylight to pass on into my river of rest
The rarest gift came and sat with me
To sing this song I now possess
A thousand pleasures gleamed from notes he smiled
Sweetly descending into this smile of my own
Appearing to greet me all the while
Yet, I was all alone
I should be held to keep my song a secret now I say
As nothing there can be to share if I’m alone
Yet my sight and smile were joined with him on this day
Leaving me, with a song I can’t disown
Now I stand outside the reach of sight and sound
For daylight to pass on into my river of rest
The rarest gift which I have found
I wait patiently to express

A thousand pleasures gleamed from notes he smiled
Sweetly descending into this smile of my own
Appearing to greet me all the while
Yet, I was all alone
I should be held to keep my song a secret now I say
As nothing there can be to share if I’m alone
Yet my sight and smile were joined with him on this day
Leaving me, with a song I can’t disown
Now I stand outside the reach of sight and sound
For daylight to pass on into my river of rest
The rarest gift which I have found
I wait patiently to express
