Poems (Osgood)/"She loves Him yet"
"SHE LOVES HIM YET!"
a song.
She loves him yet I know by the blush that rises Beneath the curls That shadow her soul-lit cheek; She loves him yet Thro' all Love's sweet disguises In timid girls, A blush will be sure to speak.
But deeper signs Than the radiant blush of beauty, The maiden finds, Whenever his name is heard;— Her young heart thrills, Forgetting herself her duty— Her dark eye fills, And her pulse with hope is stirr'd.
She loves him yet The flower the false one gave her When last he came, Is still with her wild tears wet. She'll ne'er forget, Howe'er his faith may waver, Thro' grief and shame, Believe it—she loves him yet!
His favorite songs She will sing—she heeds—no other; With all her wrongs Her life on his love is set. Oh doubt no more!She never can wed another: Till life be o'er, She loves—she will love him yet!
