Charles Jefferys

“We have lived and loved togetherThrough many changing years;We have shared each other's gladness,And wept each other's tears.”

“I have heard the mavis singingIts love-song to the morn;I've seen the dew-drop clingingTo the rose just newly born.”

“The bud is on the bough again,The leaf is on the tree.”

“A word in season spokenMay calm the troubled breast.”

“Come, wander with me, for the moonbeams are brightOn river and forest, o'er mountain and lea.”

“Meek and lowly, pure and holy,Chief among the "blessed three."”

“The morn was fair, the skies were clear,No breath came o'er the sea.”

“Come o'er the moonlit sea,The waves are brightly glowing.”
