Key: G

Introduction:

                                     G                                                              D  
          Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream,
                                                                  D7                         G  
          and I seek there in vain by the meadow and stream.
                                                                                                        D  
          Oft I breathe out your name to the winds floating by,
                                                                          D7                      G  
          but the sweet voice is mute to my cry.
                                G                                                                         D  
          In the stillness of night when the stars mightily shine,
                                                     D7                         G  
          my heart fondly holds a communion with thine.
                                                                                                        D  
          For I feel thou art near and where e'er I may be,
                                                             D7                            G  
          that the spirit of love watches me.
                                G                                                                 D  
          Of the birds in the bower now companion I make,
                                                          D7                 G  
          every simple wildflower I prize for the sake.
                          G                                                                              D  
          Deep woods and dark clouds can now pleasure impart,
                                                          D7                              G  
          for the solitude suits my poor heart.
                                     G                                                            D  
          Thou art gone from my gaze, yet I will not repine,
                                                                D7                    G  
          e'er long we shall meet in a home that is thine.
                             G                                                                         D  
          For I feel thou art near and where e'er I may be,
                                                             D7                            G  
          that the spirit of love watches me.
