Words and Music by:
Thomas Moore

Oh, believe me if all those endearing young charms
which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow and flee in my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away.

Thou would’st 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 fervour and faith of a soul can be known
To which time will make thee more dear.

No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets
But as truly loves on to the close.
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets,
The same look that she turned when he rose.
