I Cannot Lose Thee for a Day Lyrics by Muriel Herbert

0

I cannot lose thee for a day
But like a bird with restless wing
My heart will find thee far away
And on thy bosom fall and sing
My nest is here, my rest is here; -
And in the lull of wind and rain
Fresh voices make a sweet refrain
'His rest is there, his nest is there.'
With thee the wind and sky are fair
But parted, both are strange and dark;
And treacherous the quiet air
That holds me singing like a lark
O shield my love, strong arm above!
Till in the hush of wind and rain
Fresh voices make a rich refrain
'The arm abovе will shield thy love.'
