    C                     F              Dm
[tab]        C          G      C
Which I gaze on so fondly today,

        C                      F           Dm
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms,

     Am          G      C
Like fairy wings fading away

                                      F           C
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,

                   G          C
Let thy loveliness fade as it will;

                              F          Dm
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart

      C              G         C
Would entwine itself fervently still.

      C                    F               Dm
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,

        C                 G    C
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear,

                               F           Dm
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,

         Am                 G         C
To which time will but make thee more dear.

                                   F        C
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,

                   G         C
But as truly loves on to the close:

                              F           Dm
As the sunflower turns on her god when he sets

    C         G                        C
The same look which she turned when he rose.
