## 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!
