Even in sadness thou art beside me...

By Dhan Gopal Mukerji

Even in sadness thou art beside me,

In gladness, none so happy as thee;

I love thee;

May my love kiss the feet of thy love of me.

My dreams are thine, day or night,

My sleep sings in silence to the night

Of thy delight;

May thy heart's gifts like stars my heart's heaven bedight!

Though a sigh rises in my soul this hour;

Closes its petals in the west the golden day-flower;

In my bower

Let thy love pour its rainbow shower.
