Show Song of Love a I know not if moonlight or starlight Be soft on the land and the sea sea sea- I catch but the near light the far light Of eyes that are beaming for me The scent of the night of the roses May burden the air air for thee sweet sweet- only the breath of thy sighing f fI I know as I lie at thy feet 1 Th The winds may be sobbing or singing I a Their touch may be fervent or cold The night bells may toll or be ringing ringing ringing- I care not while thee I enfold The feast may go on and the music music Be scattered in m ecstasy round Thy whisper I love thee I love thee Hath flooded my soul with its sound t I think not of time that is is flying How short is is the hour I have won How near is is this living to dying How the shadow still follows the sun There is naught upon earth no desire Worth a thought though had by a sign signI I love thee I love thee bring Thy spirit thy kisses to mine Edmund C C.
