Classic Poem

Yes! He is True!

Yes! he is true and he is kind,
Who asks thy tender heart,—
Thou art the jewel of his mind,
With which he cannot part.
The birds may hate the summer's air,
The fish forsake the sea,
But thou shalt still remain his care,
Even though such changes be.

And though green Spring should not return
To gladden Nature's face,
And Winter's boisterous storms should mourn,
In Summer's laughing place;
Yet he who asks thy heart, can ne'er
Forget love's power nor thee.
Ah! no, he still shall be sincere,
Even though such changes be!

But there's a time—a day of wo,
When he with thee shall part;—
'Tis when life's stream shall cease to flow,
And sense forsake his heart,—
When his fond soul which dictates now,
Shall fly this world and love.
O may a Maiden's sacred vow,
Conduct it safe above!English
