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 would 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 has but made thee more dear
No, the heart which 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 gave when he rose
