Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away
Thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
All around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Will entwine itself verdantly still
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own
And thy cheek unprofaned by a tear
That the fervour and faith of a soul may be known
To which time will but make thee more dear
Know the heart that has truly loved never forgets
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets
That same look which she turned when he rose
