Love lives beyond
The tomb, the earth, which fades like dew
I love the fond,
The faithful, and the true
Love lies in sleep
The happiness of healthy dreams
Eve's dews may weep
But love delightful seems
'Tis seen in flowers
And in the even's pearly dew
On earth's green hours
And in the heaven's eternal blue
'Tis heard in spring
When light and sunbeams, warm and kind
On angels wing
Bring love and music to the wind
And where is voice
So young, so beautiful, so sweet
As nature's choice
Where spring and lovers meet?
Love lies beyond
The tomb, the earth, the flowers, and dew
I love the fond
The faithful, young, and true
