I.
A SONG for the girl I love --
God love her!
A song for the eyes that tender shine,
And the fragant mouth that melts on mine,
The shimmering tresses uncontrolled
That clasp her neck with tendrils of gold;
And the blossom mouth and the dainty chin,
And the little dimples out and in --
The girl I love --
God love her!

II.

A song for the girl I loved --
God loved her!
A song for the eyes of faded light,
And the cheek whose red rose waned to white,
And the quiet brow, with its shadow and gleam,
And the dark lashes drooped in a long, deep dream,
And the small hands crossed for their churchyard rest,
And the lilies dead on her sweet dead breast.
The girl I loved --
God loved her!
