| |
| THE SPRING will come when the year turns, | |
| As if no Winter had been, | |
| But what shall I do with a locked heart | |
| That lets no new year in? | |
| |
| The birds will go when the Fall goes, | 5 |
| The leaves will fade in the field, | |
| But what shall I do with an old love | |
| Will neither die nor yield? | |
| |
| Oh! youth will turn as the world turns, | |
| And dim grow laughter and pain, | 10 |
| But how shall I hide from an old dream | |
| I never may dream again? | |
| |
