TO MY HUSBAND.
SWEETLY shine
Two eyes on mine,
Like glorious stars of heaven;
  They're filled with love
  Sent from above,
From whence all things are given.

  There is a voice
  So soft and low,
No ear can list but mine;
  Speaks love to me,
  Speaks hope to me
Of a brighter, happier time.

  There is a step
  Within the hall,
Like music on my ear doth fall;
  It brings that voice,
  Those eyes so sweet;—
Lo! 'tis the coming of my husband's feet.
