LOVE ME STILL, by                    
First Line: When 'mid the festive scene we meet
Last Line: And love me still.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ianthe
Subject(s): Love


WHEN 'mid the festive scene we meet
To joyous bosoms dear,
Though other voices fall more sweet
Upon thy listening ear,
Yet scorn not thou my ruder tone;
Oh! think my heart is all thine own,
And love me still.

When o'er young Beauty's cheek of rose
Thine eye delighted strays,
Half proud to watch the blush that glows
Beneath thine ardent gaze,
Oh! think that but for sorrow's blight
My faded cheek had yet been bright,
And love me still.
