Heliotrope. — * Promised Happiness 
What happiness is so perfect as that produced by the constant 
presence of the person most dear to us. 
Cara mia! Twilight falleth 
O’er the earth in shadows deep, 
"While my spirit fondly calleth 
Unto thine our tryst to keep, 
Cara mia! Cara mia! 
Cara mia! Love exchangeth 
Hohest vows at this dim hour, 
Which, though far the true heart rangeth, 
Bind it with a mystic power; 
Cara mia ! Cara mia !
