    “Perhaps you think my absence prove Or show some signs of dying love...”

    Share Share Post
    Perhaps you think my absence prove
    Or show some signs of dying love
    But don't mistake I'm ever thine
    My constant love shows no decline.
    The Spring renews my constant flame
    And Summer finds it still the same
    In Autumn and in Winter too
    My constant thoughts are still on you
    II
    In Spring when birds begin to pair
    And love and joy reigns everywhere
    When daffodils begin to peep
    And bees waken from their sleep
    When groves are filled with melody
    My constant thoughts are still on thee
    III
    In Summer when the days are long
