WHEN WE ARE OLD.
When you are old — Sweetheart, I'll love you still ; Tho' sorrow come, it will Uut find my heart for you doth thrilß With ardour bold. In spite of Fate's decree, ; Which puts a on me, \ You'll find I still shall cling to theQ When you are old. ; When I am old — Ah ! love, and shall I find you true? Or muet I sadly rue The trust I placed in you, And und you cjIA? j Nay, love, my faith is atrou& , And tho' the years ba long, ; I know you'll love me as when younj , j When I am old. When we are old — j Ay, bsnt and marked with care, To grey has turned our hair, You then, sweat one, shall be as fair As when of old. ! I breathed my, love to you Beneath the starry blue. Ah ! love, I know we shall be true When wo are old. 1 Dunedin, April 17, 1897. —It. M. ' in
