For Ever

" Farewell, Sweet I may you find a nest
Of home in haven clearer:
And safelier rest upon the breast
Of truer love and nearer!
May favours fall, and blessings flow
For you, and cares come never I
But kiss me, dear, before you go,
And then shake hands for ever."

Her very heart within doth molt.

And gat Iters while she lingers
A weeping warmth, as though it felt
A wee Babe's feeling fingers:
The minutes pass, they do not part,
And I was all endeavour;
A touch had closed them heart to heart,
And hands were clasped for ever.
