Together

You and I shall be together,
Though we may be miles apart.
For a distance is not measured,
By the faithful heart.
All throughout each shadowed night,
For your distant lovelight burning
Is my candlelight.
You and I shall be together,
Like the pearl-pale clouds on high.
When the silver moon is glowing
In the distant sky,
You and I shall be together.
For our distant thoughts of love
Are the lanterns of the heaven,
Hung in stars above.
You and I shall be together,
Though I may be far away.
For our hearts are dawn and twilight,
Fastened to the sky.
