Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms Lyrics - Singles - John Mcdermott

Believe me if all those endearing young charms : to my mother 

Beleive me, if all those endearing young charms, 

Which I gaze on so fondly today, 

Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms 

Like fairy gifts fading away 

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

Let thy loveliness fade as it will, 

And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart 

Would entwine itself verdantly still 

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own 

And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear 

That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known 

To which time will but make thee more dear. 

No, the heart which has truly loved never forgets 

But as truly loves on to the close 

As the sunflower turns on her God when he sets 

The same look which she turned when he rose
