Smile on, smile on in thy sunny brightness,
Let thy voice still happy and joyous be,
Let thy heart still bound with its youthful
brightness,
Though mine, I feel, is now breaking for thee.
Smile on, smile on, while thy bright cheek is
glowing,
And thy eye is beaming with merrlest glee,
While thou, on all, sweet enchantment art
throwing
My heart is breaking in silence for thee.
Smile on in dreams, while thy bosom is hcaving
For him who has wrought all this rnin On me;
While thy hopes, sweet fanciesiof bliss arc yet
weaving,
Ny sleepless heart is still breaking for thee.
Smile OH. smile on, though my hopes have faded,
Thy beauty still brings g!adness TO me;
And thy image fa lies unclouded, unsho ded,
Inthe depths this heart which is breaking

And still continue to smile IN thus sweetly,
Long after my poor heart has broken for thee.
