O YOU WHOM I OFTEN AND SILENTLY COME.

O YOU whom I often and silently come where you are,          that I may be with you;

As I walk by your side, or sit near, or remain in the          same room with you,

Little you know the subtle electric fire that for your          sake is playing within me.
