LOVE-SONG
Hast thou a look for me, love?
A glance is lightly given;
Though small the cost to thee, love,
To me it may be heaven.
A glance is lightly given;
Though small the cost to thee, love,
To me it may be heaven.
Hast thou a smile for me, dear?
One smile may chain a rover;
A laughing lip, a flashing eye,
And Love's first page turns over.
One smile may chain a rover;
A laughing lip, a flashing eye,
And Love's first page turns over.
Hast thou a word for me, love?
Why not a soul is near thee;
And there is none that will betray,
And only one to hear thee.
Why not a soul is near thee;
And there is none that will betray,
And only one to hear thee.
Hast thou a kiss for me, dear?
O spoil it not by keeping,
For cheeks will fade, and hearts grow cold,
While youth and joy are sleeping.
O spoil it not by keeping,
For cheeks will fade, and hearts grow cold,
While youth and joy are sleeping.
