REMEMBER ME BY DAY, LOVE.

Air—MALTESE.

I.
Remember me by day, Love,
Though other thoughts may crowd
Mid 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 gladness
Thou 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.
