I know that you are near me, tho' I can
Not see you; — tho' the vivid hours bar
My soul from sight of you — I still can scan
The invisible region where I feel you are
Hid from me somewheres like a silver star,
Clothed in a filmy cloud and veiled from earth.
Each night that to a blushing day gives birth
I feel your presence near me as a flow'r —
Whose perfume sheds upon my life a show'r —
And yet I meet you not. The long days pass
As shadows steal across the windblown grass.

When in a churchly edifice one can feel
The presence of Divinity o'ersteal
One's soul in its sweet charm, so sacredly
The Spirit of your love companions me.
