Please ne'er forget,
 your memory is
  near my heart
   forever.
Tho' a dream of mountains
 I must follow.
  Over peak and brook
    and hollow.
Your love
 I will feel.

   Tho' miles apart,
Your thoughts
  will warm my heart.
     From high,
      upon a cold
        mountain top.
When under vines
  of laurel
   I will walk,
     your face
      I will see
       among the blossoms.

On high above a valley floor
  our love
   will transcend
    the heights
     and more.
I will return to you
  someday.
   Our embrace
    will consumate
      a love
        not soon
          to be forgot.
Dreams and mountains
  will not replace
   my love for
    you, my Wife,
     my dear,
      my life mate.
I will return,
   to see your smile
    tho' it will stay
     with me
      with ev'ry mile.
