Love Lives Beyond the Tomb

Love lives beyondThe 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 dewOn earth's green hours,And in the heaven's eternal blue.

'Tis heard in springWhen light and sunbeams, warm and kind,On angels wingBring love and music to the wind.And where is voiceSo young, so beautiful, so sweetAs nature's choice,Where spring and lovers meet?Love lies beyondThe tomb, the earth, the flowers, and dew.I love the fond,The faithful, young, and true.
