Parerga/If Thou Wilt Only Smile On Me

​

IF THOU WILT ONLY SMILE ON ME.

Air—VALETTA'S.

I.
If thou wilt only smile on me,
And clasp that gentle hand in mine,
Each hope of other things may flee,
Each care no longer shall repine.
I'll little reck of worldly things,
So thou but fond and faithful be;
Each fluttering wish shall furl its wings,
If thou wilt only smile on me—
If thou wilt only smile Only smile on me.

II.
Look up, my Love; that mournful hue,
That frown should never dim thine eye;
'Twas meant to shew the heaven's blue,
And not the cloud that veils the sky.
Our life may be one summer-day
From every storm and shadow free;
And soon may dawn its happy ray,
If thou wilt only smile on me—
If thou wilt only smile Only smile on me.
