WE MET WHILE LIFE AND LOVE WERE NEW.

Air—"TU NE TE SOUVIENS PLUS, MARIE."

I.We met while life and love were new;We deeply loved, we deeply mourn'dThe anguish of our forced adieu—The hope that fled, and ne'er return'd.Now many a stormy yearHas worn both heart and brain,And when least I hoped thee near,We meet to love again.
II.For those whom once the heart has loved,Though parted long and changed they be,We ne'er can view again unmoved—Affection wakes with memory.And the glow of days of yoreOur souls again may prove,And we'll meet to part no more,My first, my last dear Love.
