SONGS: 5. LEND ME THY WINGS, O DOVE by MARGARET LOUISA WOODS

Last Line: I SHALL RETURN WITH LOVE ENOUGH TO LAST A YEAR.
Subject(s): DESIRE; HEARTS; LOVE;

Lend me thy wings, O dove,
But for a day,
And I will fly away,
Fly to my love.
Fearst thou I shall delay?
Ah no! thou needst not fear,
Because though I should stay
But for a moment's space,
To look upon his face,
I shall return with love enough to last a year.
