I LOST MY WAY.
I lost my way, the other day,
The sun was just an hour from noon,
I caught the trace of one sweet face,
A face my heart but lov'd too soon!
The grace so light, the glance so bright,
The slender foot that tripp'd so free;
The mind, the worth,—oh! nought on earth
Was dear as that sweet face to me.
The sun was just an hour from noon,
I caught the trace of one sweet face,
A face my heart but lov'd too soon!
The grace so light, the glance so bright,
The slender foot that tripp'd so free;
The mind, the worth,—oh! nought on earth
Was dear as that sweet face to me.
But long ere night, my hope took flight,
Such charms I learnt were not for me;
My heart might break for her dear sake,—
And better death than thus to be!
I lost my way, the other day,
The sun was just an hour from noon;
I caught the trace of one sweet face,
A face my heart but lov'd too soon.
Such charms I learnt were not for me;
My heart might break for her dear sake,—
And better death than thus to be!
I lost my way, the other day,
The sun was just an hour from noon;
I caught the trace of one sweet face,
A face my heart but lov'd too soon.
