Nor that the sky is really blue.

Nor what tomorrow's world may do,
But I have certainty enough,
For I am sure of you.

Till heaven wax'd blind, and till the world were done.

The west winds kiss the clover bloom,
But I kiss-thee.

This heart still turns to thee.

Is in my darling's face.

come sleet or come snow,
We will stand by each other,
however it blow.

But rather brings an added light,
An inner vision quick to find
The beauties hid from common sight.
No soul can ever clearly see
Another's highest, noblest part;
Save through the sweet philosophy
And loving wisdom of the heart.

It is goodness, and honor, and peace and pure living.
