The Sweet Reunion
Right sudden against my face - two golden
clear
Great eyes astonished mine - a drooping ear
Did flap me on either
cheek to dry the spray!
I started first, as some Arcadian
Amazed at
piping Pan in twilight grove;
But as the bounding vision closer ran,
My
tears dried, I knew Sandy, and rose above
Surprise and sadness, thanking my
Creator and God,
Who, by such creatures, leads to heights of love.
