LOVE NEVER SLEEPS.
Love never sleeps:
Its watch it keeps
Through life's most stormy hours;
O'er joy it reigns,
In grief sustains,
And scatters ceaseless flowers.

It is the stream
That gives a theme,
A thought, a spring, a blessing;
Like stars of light,
Unchang'd and bright,
All hearts its joy possessing.

All sound is fill'd,
All nature's thrill'd
With love's harmonious measure;
In ev'ry heart
It forms the part
Of life's own dearest treasure
