Remember Thee!

 Remember thee! yes, while there's life in this heart, 
It shall never forget thee, all lorn as thou art; 
More dear in thy sorrow, thy gloom, and thy showers, 
Than the rest of the world in their sunniest hours.
 

Wert thou all that I wish thee, great, glorious, and free, 
First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea, 
I might hail thee with prouder, with happier brow, 
But oh! could I love thee more deeply tha now? 

No, thy chains as they rankle, thy blood as it runs, 
But make thee more painfully dear to thy sons -- 
Whose hearts, like the young of the desert-bird's nest, 
Drink love in each life-drop that flows from thy breast.
