Lyrics
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly to-day
Were to change by to-morrow, and fleet in my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own
Or thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear
That the fervent faith of a soul can be known
To which time can but make thee more dear
No! the heart that has truly loved never forgets
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sun-flower turns to her God when he sets
The same look which she turned when he rose
