Song.

Topics: classic

Love took me softly by the hand,         Love led me all the country o'er,     And show'd me beauty in the land,         That I had never dreamt before,         Never before, Oh! Love! sweet Love!     There was a glory in the morn,         There was a calmness in the night,     A mildness by the south wind borne,         That I had never felt aright,         Never aright, Oh! Love! sweet Love!     But now it cannot pass away,         I see it wheresoe'er I go,     And in my heart by night and day,         Its gladness waveth to and fro,         By night and day, Oh! Love! sweet Love!
