Forever Thine
Music: Augusta Browne (1820–1882) · Words: no source names who wrote them
Forever thine! what- e’er this heart betide;
Forev er thine, where’er our lots he cast;
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (3:37) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
Forever thine! what- e’er this heart betide;
Forev er thine, where’er our lots he cast;
Fate, that may rob us of all wealth beside,
Shall leave us love, till life itself be past.
The world may wrong us, we will brave its hate,
False friends may change, and false hopes
decline, Tho’ bowed by cank’ring care,
we’ll smile at fate, Since thou art mine,
beloved, and I am thine! Forever thine!
Forev er thine!
Forever thine! when circling years have
spread, Time’s snow y blossoms o’er thy pallid
brow, When youth’s rich glow, its purple light
is fled, And li lies bloom where roses flourish
now. Say, shall I love the fading beauty less,
Whose springtide radiance has been wholly
mine? No! come what will, thy steadfast truth
I’ll bless, In youth, in age, thine own,
forever thine! Forveer thine!
Forev er thine!
Forever thine! at evening’s dewy hour,
When gen tle hearts to tend’rest tho’ts
incline, When balmiest odors from each
closing flow’r, Are breathing round me,
thine, forever thine! Forever thine!
amid the boisterous crowd, When jest sparkles
with the sparkkling wine, I may not speak thy
gentle name aloud, But pledge to thee in
thought, forever thine! Forever thine!
Forev er thine!
