My Love Stood By Me At The Dawn Of Day

My love stood by me at the dawn of day, And said, "To grief you make my heart a prey Whilst I am casting looks of love at you, Have you no shame to turn your eyes away?"

All my life long I tread love's path of pain, If peradventure "Union" I may gain. Better to catch one moment's glimpse of Thee Than earthly beauties' love through life retain.
