When Time my Youthful Eye.
1824.
When Time my youthful eye shall tame,
And mark my youthful brow,
Here, Ellen, shall they look the same—
As smooth and bright as now.
And mark my youthful brow,
Here, Ellen, shall they look the same—
As smooth and bright as now.
And O! if Fate should tear apart
Two formed in love to dwell—
If death should chill the ardent heart
That long hath loved and well—
Two formed in love to dwell—
If death should chill the ardent heart
That long hath loved and well—
Here still, my dear, thy maiden choice
Thine eye—through tears—may see;
And still shall I, with all but voice,
Speak fondest love to Thee!
Thine eye—through tears—may see;
And still shall I, with all but voice,
Speak fondest love to Thee!
