DO I LOVE THEE?
Do I love thee? Go and ask the flowers If they love the sweet, refreshing showers.
Do I love thee? Dost thou recall the time When first pressed to thy heart as thine?
Do I love thee? Forget not the first kiss, When we thought our love was bliss.
Do I love thee? Can we ever forget, Until our sun on earth has set?
Do I love thee? Tongue can never tell How much I love thee, or how well.
Do I love thee? Would you have me say My heart is thine till my dying day?
Do I love thee? Oft in silent thought Thy image to my mind is brought.
Do I love thee? Yes, as the miser his gold, Who hugs it closely, yet counts it untold.
Do I love thee? Coldness rends the heart,And takes from love its better part.
Do I love thee? True love cannot be bought; My feelings are too deeply wrought.
I will ever truly love thee, and thy love I'll ne'er resign; While life may last my purest love shall be forever thine.
