Thinking of thee, my love, always of thee,
Sweet are my dreams as the last sunbeam dies,
The morning reveals the far-severing sea,
The gloaming brings glances from thy loving eyes.
Through vanishing distance each glance swiftly flies,
Bringing its marvellous message to me;
Whispering softly, when lately it lies
At home in my heart,"I am thinking of thee."
Thinking of thee, my love, loving hearts blend,
Thought answers thought o'er the wide seas that sever;
In that wonderful land of dreams lover and friend
May meet, and may linger for ever and ever.
Then welcome, dear dreamland, that comes with the gloaming,
Till seas no more sever, till grief cannot rend
Fond hearts now far sundered, the wide world roaming,
Till Love, all triumphant, unites in the end!
