Keep ever close beside me
To light me where go:
Let no joys be denied me
That come to lovers true;
Be yours the gleam
To bring the dream
For ever sweet and newl
Dear lips that sing to cheer me
Loves crimson rose a-blow-
With melody keep near me
And make me happy SO;
And ever when yoU hear me
Your lyric voice implore.
Sing-sing again
The song, and then
The dream shall come once more

For manly love is never 49,

Who loves still when his hair Is gray,
