Song
1
I would not be a wither'd leaf
Twirled in an autumn sky
Mine should not be a life so brief
To fade and fall and die.
2
Nor would I be a wither'd flower
Whose stalk was broke before
The bud showed bloom in springs young hour
Heart sicken'd at the core.
3
But I would be a happy thought
With thy sweet sleep to lie
To live unknown, unseen, unsought
And keep my lonely joy.
4
Yes I would be a ray of light
In the apple of thy eye
And watch o'er thee the live long night
In beauty, and in joy.
I would not be a wither'd leaf
Twirled in an autumn sky
Mine should not be a life so brief
To fade and fall and die.
2
Nor would I be a wither'd flower
Whose stalk was broke before
The bud showed bloom in springs young hour
Heart sicken'd at the core.
3
But I would be a happy thought
With thy sweet sleep to lie
To live unknown, unseen, unsought
And keep my lonely joy.
4
Yes I would be a ray of light
In the apple of thy eye
And watch o'er thee the live long night
In beauty, and in joy.
