CONSTANCY 
I know that thou art far away. 
Yet in my own despite, 
Thy still expectant glances stray, 
Inquiring for thy sight. 
Though all too sure, that thy sweet face 
Can bless no glance of mine, 
At every turn in every place, 
My eyes are seeking thine, 
I hope—how vain the hope, I know— 
That some propitious chance 
May bring thee here again to know 
Thy sweetness on my glance. 
But, loveliest one, where’er thou art 
Whate’er be my despair, 
Mine eyes will seek thee, and my heart 
Will love thee everywhere.
