Camp was established on the Double Mountain Fork.
Once more he would hold her face up to his, and look into her dim, soft eyes, full of that glowing lovelight which none can fail to read. Once again he would drink deep of this delicious happiness, a long sweet draught, and if life ended after that moment he would at least have touched the limits of all earthly joys. And suddenly he stood face to face with her.
Pity me, dear one, if thy sweet sympathies can come out of the glory, if the lovelight of thy beautiful life can press through the cloud and the evil, and fold me again as a garment; pity and plead for me with the maiden mother whose arms in human sorrow and human love cradled our blessed Redeemer.

The lovelight in their eyes the lovelight which can only be shown to each other will discover to them hidden depths of beauty they had never gathered they possessed.
Ah, I have loved a star That beckoned sweetly from its distant throne, Forgetting nearer orbs that fairer are, And shine for me alone. Better the small and near Than the grand distant with its mocking beams Better the lovelight in thine eyes, my dear, Than all ambition's dreams.
I, taking both your hands in mine because our idle hands seemed lonely, looked into your face, as I had not done since first we met by the river. Your face had grown more thoughtful and more calm, more patient and more kind; the lovelight in your eyes spoke of the soul. Your hair, though white, was more beautiful than when pure gold.
