DID I lose sight, I'd see thee none the less.
Within my inner vision, thy dear face,
And lovely form my solitude would bless.
The years would never rob them of their grace.
Within my inner vision, thy dear face,
And lovely form my solitude would bless.
The years would never rob them of their grace.
And were I deaf and could not hear the sound
Of that most perfect voice, yet I would know,
And feel the joy it gave to those around,
And in their joy my lonely heart would glow.
Of that most perfect voice, yet I would know,
And feel the joy it gave to those around,
And in their joy my lonely heart would glow.
If I lay dead the smile upon my face
Would clothe the hidden anguish of my heart;
My heart, bereft of you, for e'en a space,
Would break itself in two, were we apart.
Would clothe the hidden anguish of my heart;
My heart, bereft of you, for e'en a space,
Would break itself in two, were we apart.
Ah! let Fate do her utmost as she may,
All change shall find me constant to your sway!
All change shall find me constant to your sway!
