  I’ll sing a little song Of you dear one, ’Twill be long as the day And bright like the sun If I dare. I’ll gather from the garden This big red rose To kiss your cheeks While sweet breezes blow If I dare. Your face is ne’er out of my dreams Deep in my heart sweet memories bring, Oh! I will love you, dear, you only, Till death with bitterness bring If I dare. My mind is with you Though my eyes are in tears, My heart is being pierced With Cupid’s golden spear, But yet I’d return If I dare. Oh! how sad with you Were my past, The present was sweet So long as it lasts. |
