Endearing Young Charms - Sarah Moore
Believe me
If all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow
And fleet in my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away
Thou wouldst still be adored
As this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin
Each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still
It is not while beauty
And youth are thine own
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear
That the fervor and faith of
A soul can be known
To which time will
But make thee more dear
No the heart
That has truly loved never forgets
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sunflower looks to
Her God when he sets
The same look which
She turned when he rose
No the heart
That has truly loved never forgets
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sunflower
Turns to her God when he sets
The same look
Which she turned when he rose
