My Love by Ruth G.

O won't thou see, my love, what's done to me?

See how I have been treated;

Heart set aside so harshly.

But o, my love, hear how I am singing still;

Did thou think I would not?

I sing, tho' laughter's ringing is still.

My love for thee shall remain ever strong --

As Lume's golden rays --

As the Wood Thrush's song.

O, long as the stars continue to rise

Above the sweet flowers,

I'll be trapped by thine eyes.

Only for thou, my love, are my songs true;

The moon's glow must fade

Before the beauty of all thou do.

Understand this, that tho' I did part

I slipped away in pain

From my broken heart.

Know that it shattered my world 

To leave thee my dear, old girl.
