Letitia Elizabeth Landon

“ Thou shalt think of me when the stars are weeping
Their tears of light;
Thou shalt think of me when the stars are keeping
Their watch at night;
Thou shalt think of me when summer flowers
In autumn fade;
When sinks the glory of noon-tide hours
In twilight shade;
When the waves round some fragile bark are breaking
Alone at sea;
Or when from your saddest dream awaking,
Then think of me.
But I will think of thee at the dawning
Of the daylight's star,
When slowly comes forth the beauty of morning,
Like joy from afar. ”
