LOVE'S CAPTIVITY. Copyright, 1801, by Willis Woodward & Co. Words and Music by Julian Jordan. 
Dear heart, dear heart, of thee to-night I'm thinking; Dreaming, my darling, only of thee; The time is weary and the heart is lonely. My darling, when thou'rt far from me. Oh, could I burst the bonds that bind me prisoner, I'd fly on wings of love so fleet and strong; And naught again, my love, our paths would sever. Too long our loves have suffered, ah! too long. No more I'd leave thee, no, my darling, never; Thy life should be one glorious song. 
And now, as here a captive lone I languish. Thy love makes even bright my prison cell; thought of thee amid the dreadful carnage, I thought of one I love so well; And should I never more again behold thee, "Unknown a soldier's lot must ever be." Know that thy name, the last my lips did utter. Dying, alone I think of thee, of thee: Thy name, thy name the last my lips did utter. Dying, alone I think of thee, Living, I live for thee; dying, I love but thee.
