Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms

Believe me if all those endearing young charms

Which I gaze on so fondly today

Were to change by tomorrow

And fleet in my arms

Like fairy gifts fading away

Thou wouldst still be adored

As this moment thou art

Let thy lovliness fade as it will

And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart

Would entwine itself verdantly still
