^*^A WONDROUS MOMENT^*^
^*^The wondrous moment of our meeting..I well remember you appear..Before me like a vision fleeting,
A beauty's angel pure and clear^*^
^*^In hopeless ennui surrounding..The worldly bustle..To my ear..For long your tender voice kept sounding..
For long in dreams came features dear^*^
^*^Time passed..Unruly storms confounded Old dreams..And I from year to year..Forgot how tender you had sounded..
Your heavenly features once so dear^*^
^*^My backwoods days dragged slow and quiet..Dull fence around..Dark vault above..Devoid of God and uninspired..
Devoid of tears..Of fire, of love^*^
^*^Sleep from my soul began retreating..And here you once again appear..Before me like a vision fleeting..
A beauty's angel pure and clear^*^
^*^In ecstasy the heart is beating...Old joys for it anew revive..Inspired and God-filled..It is greeting
The fire..And tears..And love alive^*^
