LOVE REVEALED
OVER the sloping hills we rode, You and I together.Through grassy fields on spirited steeds, You and I together.We saw the beautiful wild flowers bright, Nodding their heads in warm sunlight,You and I together. We followed the meadow lark,That soared so high, into white clouds Of the bright blue sky;And we looked at each other with a tell-tale eye, You and I together.Into the thicket we did ride, Pacing our horses side by side,You and I together. We heard the distant thunder roar,And saw the wind sweep all before, You and I together.On and onward our steeds we sped, Through brushwood and grove we madly fledAnd hoped escape, from the storm o'er-head You and I together. Torrents of rain from the heav'ns did pour, And flashes of lightning sent o'er and o'erA thrill to our hearts, deep to the core, You and I together.Galloping on with our prancing steeds Under close shelter of thickest treesYou and I together. When we at last halted 'fore a wild rocky caveAs cold and silent as a grave We entered, protected from the storm's rageYou and I together. We waited and watched, till the storm had passedYou and I together. And naught was heard, save the sobbing windIn the trees without, and the troth within Of two beating hearts, who vowed to impartTheir true plight forever, Ah! you and I together.
