Show TRACED. Be my love forever, not merely for a day; The bloom upon the roses is bloom that fades away; The silver of the river as it flashes in the sun Is dusk upon the water when Hie bolden day is done! Be my love forever, that I may ever know The music oK your heartbeat wherever " I may go! Be my love forever, in toil and ftrife and care; The song is but an echo of ghost lips in the air; The laughter falls in silence down the valleys of the years. And time is turning gladness every day, sweetheart, to tears! Be my love forever, today, and when the dawn Across your path comes stealing in the years when I am gone! Be my love forever, today, and here and now And in the sweet hereafter of the dear unbroken vow. That, when we are phantoms, upon a circling wing, I shall remember roses in the rosy dawn of spring. And. through the utter darknpss and through the peopled gloom. Shall know that you have blossomed to my arms in phantom bloom! Selected. |
