Aline's ballad

Have faith in me - thou art my day - I turn to thee for love and light - Take that life-giving love away And leave me in eternal night! Thou art the hill - and I the dale - Thou art the sea and I the shell - Thou art the wind and I the sail - Thou art the spring and I the well! Without that spring no well would be, Have faith in me - have faith in me! Have faith in me - the ripening corn Is faithful to the autumn sun! Thou art the god of my young morn, My harvest god - oh doubting one! Thou art the day and I the hour - Thou art the idol - I the throng - Thou art the tree and I the flower - Thou art the singer - I the song. Oh let the song be sung by thee - Have faith in me - have faith in me!
