TELL HIM I LOVE HIM YET
Tell him I love him yet,
As though the rageing tide,
Tell him I'll never forget,
Though memory be a crime.
Tell him when fades the light
Away o'er the dark blue sea,
I'll dream of him at night
Though he never may dream of me.
(repeat)
Tell when I die
To come to a twisting tree
And there I would have him sigh
If he would only sigh for me,
Green, green upon his brow
Those laurels yet may be,
But Oh! those laurels now
Can never be shed for me.
(repeat)
Tell him of a Savior's love,
How my dying pulses throb;
Tell him with him above,
I love, I love him yet.
Tell him when I kneel
Before the throne of God
I'll ever pray for him
In the beautiful home above.
(repeat)
