1. Thou art [G]gone from my gaze like a [D]beautiful dream,
and I seek there in [D7]vain by the [G]meadow and stream.
Oft I breathe out your name to the [D]winds floating by,
but the sweet voice is [D7mute to [G]my cry.

2. In the stillness of night when the stars mightily shine,
my heart fondly holds a communion with thine.
For I feel thou art near and where e'er I may be,
that the spirit of love watches me.
3. Of the birds in the bower now companion I make,
every simple wildflower I prize for the sake.
Deep woods and dark clouds can now pleasure impart,
for the solitude suits my poor heart.
4. Thou art gone from my gaze, yet I will not repine,
e'er long we shall meet in a home that is thine.
For I feel thou art near and where e'er I may be,
that the spirit of love watches me.
