LV. AND GAYER FRIENDS SURROUND THEE NOW.
And gayer friends surround thee now,
And lighter hearts are thine;
Thou dost not need, beloved and blest,
So sad a boon as mine.
And lighter hearts are thine;
Thou dost not need, beloved and blest,
So sad a boon as mine.
But in my sorrowing soul for thee
Love's balmy flower I'll hide,
And feeling's tears shall keep it fresh,
Whatever fate betide.
Love's balmy flower I'll hide,
And feeling's tears shall keep it fresh,
Whatever fate betide.
Then, when misfortune's winter comes.
And frailer love takes wing,
All pure and bright, with hope's own light,
Affection's rose I'll bring;
And frailer love takes wing,
All pure and bright, with hope's own light,
Affection's rose I'll bring;
And thou shalt bless the simple flower
That keeps its virgin bloom
To charm thy soul, in sorrow's hour,
With beauty and perfume.
That keeps its virgin bloom
To charm thy soul, in sorrow's hour,
With beauty and perfume.
