"For Thee, Love, for Thee"

The thoughts of the past
 Oft will linger
      thee
With thee love, with love
        
All lonely and sad
  am
 I'll be dreaming
Of thee love, of thee love
 Each thought in this bosom
  Is teaming
 With thee only thee –
The past hours of friendship
 The present of bliss
 thoughts
The days of our childhood
 Exhaled in a kiss –
        
             seem
The lark and the linnet are singing
 For thee love, for thee love,
        sems
The bud into blossom is springing
 For thee only thee –
The friends of my childhood
The streamlet is coursing seems flowing
 Its way to the deep
And While I o'er thy slumbers
 My lone vigil keep –
           
The flowers' sweet perfume
 Their fragrance to me
Will always remind me
 Of thee ever thee -
