Love Song
Come, sweet maid, and walk with meIn the twilight hush:By the wayside merrilyPipes an autumn thrush,While above the evening starHallows all the land.I shall lead you safe and far ...Give me but your hand.Come, my love, and talk with meHere a little space:Often has this fallen treeBeen a trysting-placeWhere young lovers two by twoStole to speak unheard.I shall pledge my love to you ...Give me but a word.Come, my dearest, live with meThrough the passing years:Then in life together seeBeauty through the tears;And death wisely ne’er withholdsLove like ours apart.I shall know what heaven holds ...Give me but your heart.WALTER E. HOUGHTON, JR.

Come, sweet maid, and walk with me
In the twilight hush:
By the wayside merrily
Pipes an autumn thrush,
While above the evening star
Hallows all the land.
I shall lead you safe and far ...
Give me but your hand.
Come, my love, and talk with meHere a little space:Often has this fallen treeBeen a trysting-placeWhere young lovers two by twoStole to speak unheard.I shall pledge my love to you ...Give me but a word.
Come, my love, and talk with me
Here a little space:
Often has this fallen tree
Been a trysting-place
Where young lovers two by two
Stole to speak unheard.
I shall pledge my love to you ...
Give me but a word.
Come, my dearest, live with meThrough the passing years:Then in life together seeBeauty through the tears;And death wisely ne’er withholdsLove like ours apart.I shall know what heaven holds ...Give me but your heart.
Come, my dearest, live with me
Through the passing years:
Then in life together see
Beauty through the tears;
And death wisely ne’er withholds
Love like ours apart.
I shall know what heaven holds ...
Give me but your heart.
