SONG
LOVE lingers by with song and sigh,Shine and shadows bending;The days so rare that started fairOft in sadness ending.
Love comes and goes as blooms the rose,Leaving thorns behind it,But, ah, the gain outlasts the painIf so our hearts may find it.
A gift is life, its peace and strifeAnd all the hope that's in it;Love lies across the bridge of sighsAnd we'd risk heaven to win it.
