OH! NOT WHEN YOUTH AND JOY ARE THINE.

I

Oh! not when youth and joy are thine
Thou'lt know my love for thee;
Others, when sunbeams round thee shine,
As loving seem to be:
But darker days must come to prove
All the deep fervour of my love.

II

How often, when the vain and gay
Have thy attendants been,
I shunn'd their smiles and stole away
To gaze on thee unseen:
In darker days they'll disappear,
Then call on me;—I shall be near.
