Lost Love

Clear, please clear that brow of gloom
Grieve stains beauty to ruin a shrine
Joy alone should shine and illume
With eyes so sparkling bright as thine
Leave me you're plaintive sighs
As for me no roses will never shine
Even as summer blazes in the sky's
But it will be winter always in mine

So keep; oh keep that pensive smile
So faint, so sweet, for me so brief
Though it beams, we doubt, the while
If it be joy, it beams not for me
Keep it, for an others feelings only
From me it was gently stole
In chastened heavenly tone
Let his moonlight be your soul
