3
Meet me as you used to meet me
Meet me as you used to meet me
In the dusky twilight time,
When the stars steal out in heaven,
And the bells of evening chime.
Let mine eyes, so worn with watching,
On thy worship'd features rest,
Let them hold thee for a moment
Of thy beauty repossess'd.
In the dusky twilight time,
When the stars steal out in heaven,
And the bells of evening chime.
Let mine eyes, so worn with watching,
On thy worship'd features rest,
Let them hold thee for a moment
Of thy beauty repossess'd.
Scorn me not, I ask no favor,
Not a word, a sign, a deed.
Looks can tell thee all my sorrow,
All my suff'ring, all my need.
Silently as stars their greeting
Unto duteous planets give,
I shall know that thou still lov'st me,
Thou, that but in thee I live.
Not a word, a sign, a deed.
Looks can tell thee all my sorrow,
All my suff'ring, all my need.
Silently as stars their greeting
Unto duteous planets give,
I shall know that thou still lov'st me,
Thou, that but in thee I live.
