SONG: 22 by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD

First Line: IF YOU WILL SING THE SONGS I PLAY
Last Line: THE GREAT REFRAIN.
Subject(s): SINGING & SINGERS;
IF you will sing the songs I play,
Then you shall be my dear,
And I will cherish you alway,
And love you far and near;
If you will, in sweet singing, say
The songs I play.

And if to all the deeper strain
A surer rhyme you learn,
Ah me, to what a rich refrain
My striving chords shall turn;
If you will learn the deeper strain,
The great refrain.
