THINK NOT THAT I FORGET, LOVE.

[_]

(FOR MUSIC.)

Think not I forget, love,
Our days of joyous youth;
The sun has not yet set, love,
That rose on Hope and Truth.
Though long, long years have tried me,
And dimmed Life's fairy tree;
Time's chain has firmly tied me
To thee, love, only thee.
Think not that I forget, love,
Our first and glowing words;
They live in memory yet, love,
Like songs of morning birds.
I feel my heart still giving
Its incense pure and free;
I feel that I am living
For thee, love, only thee.
