## The words

When first the lamp of love is lit,  
With– in a maiden heart to hide,  
Ah, never quench the tender flame That Heav’n  
itself has sanctified.  
If under God’s own courts above There yet  
remains one holy spot, It is the heart of  
first true love Dis– turb it not!  
Disturb it not! Oh darken not those rainbow  
skies, In– vade ye not that dream of May,  
Ye know not what a Paradise For evermore  
might pass away. When first the lamp of love is  
lit, Within a maiden heart to hide,  
Ah, never quench the tender flame That Heav’n  
itself has sanctified.  
Disturb it not!
