1. Though hearts may wander far apart
One day memories will make them start

2. To long and yearn with flooding heart
And love's own weeping wound will smart

3. Gently, do not blame them for a time
That's past with wounds, reproaches crime

4. But for faithfulness and wish benign
Athirst, they long for one to pine

5. And slake the thirst none else can sign
What worth has love save with grace divine
