Break not my spirit,
Think of my youth,
Cherish my tender heart,
Doubt not my truth;
Friends may desert thee,
Sorrows may come,
But still in this soul
Thine image will bloom.
Thy hopes with thee I’ll share,
Thy wants shall be my care;
Refrain: |
Though through the desert,
Wand’ring afar,
Still to me, dearest one,
Thou’lt be my star;
Sunlight or moonlight
O’er us may shine,
Yet living on love,
I’ll ever be thine.
Thy hand shall be my guard,
Thy rules shall be my word;
Refrain: |
