First Line: The years they come and go
Last Line: "lady, I love but thee!"
Subject(s): Death; Graves; Love; Dead, The; Tombs; Tombstones
THE years they come and go,
The races drop in the grave,
Yet never the love doth so
Which here in my heart I have.
Could I see thee but once, one day,
And sink down so on my knee,
And die in thy sight while I say,
"Lady, I love but thee!"
