FOREVER AND FOREVER.
AN IMITATION.
Sweet Nea held her hand in mine,
Beside us rolled the river;
“Wilt love me Nea?” and she said
“Forever and forever.”
Beside us rolled the river;
“Wilt love me Nea?” and she said
“Forever and forever.”
And when the roses blushed again
I stood beside that river,
But Nea, darling! she was gone
Forever and forever.
I stood beside that river,
But Nea, darling! she was gone
Forever and forever.
She went with blossoms in the spring,
And shall I see her never?
Ah, yes! for those who love, love on
Forever and forever.
And shall I see her never?
Ah, yes! for those who love, love on
Forever and forever.

“There is another better world,”
Where pain and death are never;
There she and I shall live and love
Forever and forever.
Where pain and death are never;
There she and I shall live and love
Forever and forever.
