Love at First Sight
Love at first sight, be true
Once, in the world's despite!
Once, in a season due,
Souls that are kin unite!
Once let our hearts pursue
Trace of a lost delight!
Love at first sight, be true!
Love at the first sweet sight!
Once, in the world's despite!
Once, in a season due,
Souls that are kin unite!
Once let our hearts pursue
Trace of a lost delight!
Love at first sight, be true!
Love at the first sweet sight!
Love as of old appear!
Now, though the world be cold!
Now, though the cynic sneer,
Soul into soul enfold!
Now to the world endear
Passion instead of gold!
Love as of old appear!
Love, as they loved of old!
Now, though the world be cold!
Now, though the cynic sneer,
Soul into soul enfold!
Now to the world endear
Passion instead of gold!
Love as of old appear!
Love, as they loved of old!
