Questioning.SEE'ST thou not, my darling,

Low down in the crimson west,

You fleecy flake of feathery cloud

That drifts with the wind to rest?

See'st thou not, my darling,

Its bosom of purest snow,

That flushes still and blushes with

The kiss of the sunset's glow?

Know'st thou not, my darling,

My life is the cloud above,

Whose happy bue is owing to

The light of thy spirit's love.
