REMEMBER ME BY DAY, LOVE.

Air—MALTESE.

I.Remember me by day, Love,Though other thoughts may crowdMid the pageant's splendour gay, Love,And the revel long and loud.I cannot wish thee sadness;I ask no sigh from thee.But, oh! in grief or gladnessThou may'st remember me.
II.Remember me by night, Love,When earth is dim and still,But the Spirit-world is bright, Love,And sweet dreams roam at will.When the silver moonlight gleams, Love,Like a sceptre on the sea,O then in thought and dreams, Love,Thou mayst remember me.
