IF THE WORLD DECEIVE ME.
I
If the world deceive me,Mary! Mary!
Or ill fortune grieve me,
All the blame is mine.
But when peace and pleasure
O'erflow my life's full measure,
Then, my heart's best treasure,
Shall all the praise be thine.
284
II
'Tis thy smile that aids me,Mary! Mary!
'Tis thy light pervades me
When the world goes wrong
Truth that cannot vary,
And Hope, our fireside fairy,
Dwell with thee, my Mary,
And cheer my heart and song.
