FORGET NOT ME
Forget not me, my love,
When others whisper thou art fair;
With honeyed words their lips may move,
But love like mine is rare.
When others whisper thou art fair;
With honeyed words their lips may move,
But love like mine is rare.
Forget not me, my love,
When warmer eyes upon thee rest;
Their fire can ne'er so fervent prove
As that within my breast.
When warmer eyes upon thee rest;
Their fire can ne'er so fervent prove
As that within my breast.
Think not I doubt thy faith;
The wreathy foam upon the sea,
Spread by the zephyr's gentlest breath
Is not more pure than thee.
The wreathy foam upon the sea,
Spread by the zephyr's gentlest breath
Is not more pure than thee.
I well believe thee true,
Thy heart will ne'er deceitful be;
But then that heart is tender too,
For it was kind to me.
Thy heart will ne'er deceitful be;
But then that heart is tender too,
For it was kind to me.
May not a tearful eye,
A glowing cheek, and mournful air,
Break from thy friendly heart a sigh,
And waken pity there?
A glowing cheek, and mournful air,
Break from thy friendly heart a sigh,
And waken pity there?
