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