I LOVE THEE YET.

Though change has passed upon thy heart for me
And all thy love for me is gone,
Believe me, I will love thee still,
As fond as I have ever done.

Though weeks and months have passed away
Since I thy look of coldness met,
And though we parted coldly then,
I love and prize thee fondly yet.

I never thought, I never dreamed
That time could change such love as thine,
How weak was I to weigh another's
Vows and truth and love with mine.

I look upon the sunny hours
I spent with thee, and no regret
Comes o'er my spirit, for my heart
Still loves thee deeply, fondly yet.
