To My Love

When thou art near, my love, My heart doth leap and sing, And all the world seems bright, A joyful, lovely thing.
But when thou art afar, My spirit droops and sighs, And all the world seems dim, Beneath the weeping skies.
Oh, come thou back to me, My love, my life, my all, And banish all my woes, And heed my loving call.
