 A LETTER SHE WROTE BUT DID NOT SEND

AY not you've "lost" me, the word like a stone Falls on my heart. Though I'm no longer near To clasp your friendly hand and call you dear And cheer the sadness that is only known To my divining love, you're not alone! My loving thoughts still bear you company, Drive them not from you, oh, forget not me! Nor reap in tender leaf the love just sown.

My written words must find their instant way Straight to your heart as spoken ones have done In those too happy days so lately gone When I was with you and you still were kind. Or have I lost you? 'Tis for you to say— Me you can never lose but only find.
