Show If Thou Art True. j If only a single rose is left j Why should the summer pine? 1 A blade of grass in a rocky cleft: ! A single star to shine. I Why should I sorrow if all be lost, j If only thou art mine? j If only a single bluebell gleams Bright on the barren heath, Still of that flower the summer dreams, Not of his August wreath. Why should I sorrow if thou art mine, Love, beyond change and death? 1 If only once on a wintry day The sun shines forth in the blue. He gladdens the groves till they laugh as in May. And dream of the touch of the dew. Why should I sorrow if all be false, If only thou art true? George Barlow. |
