WILT THOU LOVE NE!

wilt thou love me, gentle maiden,
When the hours Of youth hath He'd,
When the hoary lorks of winter
Thiuly cluster roand my head?
When he form now firm and stately,
Shall be bowed by age and care,
And MY voice has lost its sottness,
Wilt thou love me, maiden fair!
wilt thou greet me with a welcome,
Whea the busy day IS DER,
When The parting rays Of sunlight
Cast their shadows on the moor
Wher our youthful years are over,
When 10 power can ~ div'de,
Wilt thou still look foad!y on me,
And walk softly by my side
Yes. thon'lt love me when the present
With its halcyon days are passed,
When our bark is geHf!y gliding,
As on times dark waves were east;
When each JOYOUS dream has vanished,
When my heart is sad and chill,
And the shades of death hang o'er ne,
Thou wilt love me, maiden, still.
