Believe me if all those endearing young charms : to my mother      Beleive me if all those endearing young charms   Which I gave on so fondly today   Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms   Like the fairy gifts fading away   Though would still be adored as this moment thou art   Let thy loveliness fade as it will   And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart   Would entwine itself verdantly still   It is not while beauty and youth are thine own   And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear   That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known   To which time will but make thee more dear   No the heart which has truly loved never forgets   But as truly loves on to the close   As the sunflower turns on her guard when he sets   The same look which she turned when he rose
