Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

  1. Fear not that while around thee
    Life’s choicest blessings pour
    One sigh of mine should wound thee
    Whose smile thou seek’st no more
    No! dead and cold forever
    Must our past love remain
    Once gone, its spirit never
    Shall haunt thy rest again
    Once gone, it’s spirit never
    Shall haunt thy rest again
  2. May each new tie that binds thee
    Far sweeter, happier prove
    And ne’er of me remind thee
    Save by their truth and love
    Yet think in sleep or waking
    Thy image haunts me yet
    But how this heart is breaking
    For thy peace of mind forgot
    But how this heart is breaking
    For thy peace of mind forgot
