IRISH SONGS AND LYRICS 81 |

|
You have been glad when you knew I was gladdened; Dear, are you sad now to hear I am saddened ? As octave to octave and rhyme unto rhyme, love, Our hearts always answer in tune and in time, love; I cannot weep but your tears will be flowing — You cannot smile but my cheeks will be glowing — I would not die without you at my side, love — You will not linger when I shall have died, love.
Come to me, dear, ere I die of my sorrow; Rise on my gloom like the sun of to-morrow , Strong, swift, and fond as the words that I speak, love, With a song on your lip and a smile on your cheek,
love. Come, for my heart in your absence is dreary; Haste, for my spirit is sickened and weary; Come to the arms that alone should caress thee; Come to the heart that is throbbing to press thee ! |
