LOVE SONG.

LOVE SONG.

DDreamingof love and fame, sweetheart,I dreamed that a sunbeam shoneFor a wavering instant, and where it playedA hundred flowers had grown.The sunshine flitting so soon awayWas a smile thou hadst given me;And the flowers that bloomed in the world for aye,Were the songs I wrote for thee.Waking to love and life, sweetheart,I saw fair flowers fade;While still from the measureless heavens aboveThe flickering sunshine played.The flowers fading from all men’s sightWere the songs they had heard from me;And the light that illumined the world to them,Was a single smile from thee!

Dreamingof love and fame, sweetheart,

I dreamed that a sunbeam shone

For a wavering instant, and where it played

A hundred flowers had grown.

The sunshine flitting so soon away

Was a smile thou hadst given me;

And the flowers that bloomed in the world for aye,

Were the songs I wrote for thee.

Waking to love and life, sweetheart,I saw fair flowers fade;While still from the measureless heavens aboveThe flickering sunshine played.The flowers fading from all men’s sightWere the songs they had heard from me;And the light that illumined the world to them,Was a single smile from thee!

Waking to love and life, sweetheart,

I saw fair flowers fade;

While still from the measureless heavens above

The flickering sunshine played.

The flowers fading from all men’s sight

Were the songs they had heard from me;

And the light that illumined the world to them,

Was a single smile from thee!
