Words of love still haunt me so
From long forgotten days of old -
Endearments that I used to know
Still deep within my heart I hold;

Sweet memories of softer times
When eyes spoke more than tongue,
You sang to me sweet words and rhymes
Of days when we were young;

My heart is filled with longing now
My soul lies unfulfilled -
To mend the wound I know not how
The memories now are stilled;

I cannot live another day
Oh, hear my mournful plea -
Come now my love, for this I pray
Return your words to me.
