While I've thee and love remaining,
Beauty hath a grace undying,
Do not say that life is waning,
That on other cheeks may shine,
Would I change the least, the slightest.
Tho' thy roses fade and fall;
That is lingering now o'er thine.
Or that hope's sweet day is set;
Not for charms, the newest, brightest,
Life is in the horizon yet.
Do not think those charms are flying,
Which in thee survives them all.
