SONG: 27 by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD

First Line: WHEN FIRST I SAW YOUR FACE, LOVE
Last Line: WHEN FIRST YOU TURNED TO ME AND SPOKE!
Subject(s): LOVE;
WHEN first I saw your face, love,
I knew my search was done,
You passed my lonely place, love,
The light I sought was won,
When your steadfast eyes looked down on me,
And I arose to follow thee.

And something in your smile, love,
I knew to be a part
Of joy that for a while, love,
Had slumbered in my heart:
To what sweet music it awoke,
When first you turned to me and spoke!
