When Visions of Her Face Come
Der Me.
When visions of her face come DER me,
OF her sweet face so far away
1 say what lovers said before mo,
What lovers Will forever say;
That flowers bloom swceter for her being,
That birds sing sweetcr FOR her seeing.
That grass is sreener, skies more blue
That all things take n richer hue.
Lovers have said these things before;
Lovers will say them evermorc
D. sweet young love, that in all ages
Bears ever one eternal form!
With lasting youth your Oldest pages
Glow ever, ever fresh and warm.
Oh. dear old story ever young!
Poets have painted, artists sung;
Sure, naught in life is half so sweet;
Death cannot make you incomplete.
Lovers have said these things before;
Lovers will say them evcrmorc.
