Forever Young.
From Belgravia.
The wild world hastens on its way;
The gray-haired century nears its close;
Its sorrow deepens day by day;
The summer blush forsakes the rose.
But, darling, while your voice I hear,
And while your dark brown eyes I see,
Sad months and sunless seasons drear,
Are all the same, all glad to me.
Despair can never reach me,
While your soft lips I kiss;
While your sweet voice says, "Love me,"
I never shall grow old!
They say that love forsakes the old.
That passion pales and fades away:
That even love's bright locks of gold
Must lose their charm and change to gray.
But, darling, while your heart is mine,
And while I feel that you are true,
For me the skies will ever shine
With summer light and tenderest blue.
Yes, let old age deride me!
I scorn his mocking tongue.
Dear love, with you beside me,
I am forever young.
