Sweet Evening Come and Go, Love
Title
Sweet Evening Come and Go, Love
Quotation
Sweet evenings come and go, love,
They came and went of yore:
This evening of our life, love,
Shall come and go no more.
When we have passed away, love,
All things willl keep their name;
But yet no life on earth, love,
With ours will be the same
The daisies will be there, love,
The stars in heaven will shine:
I shall not feel thy wish, love,
Nor thou my hand in thine.
A better time willl come, love,
And better souls be born:
I would not be the best, love,
To leave thee now forlorn.

The daisies will be there, love,
The stars in heaven will shine:
I shall not feel thy wish, love,
Nor thou my hand in thine.
A better time willl come, love,
And better souls be born:
I would not be the best, love,
To leave thee now forlorn.
