IF

If she were dead, how I should grieve To think she never knew how dear And sweet her very presence was; How ever she brought summer near, And made the hours to music move, And brightened life with her rich love!
If she were dead, my tears would fall Above her silent, beauteous clay— She lives, thank God! shall I not shed Love’s sunshine o’er her patient way, And daily tell her how I prize Her voice, her touch, her faithful eyes? —Margaret E. Sangster.
