arthur sullivan – sweethearts lyrics
“oh take this flow’r, dear love,” said he
he spake with a fearful sigh
that night he was going across the sea
and this was his last good+bye
she took the gift with a mocking smile
in the flush of her maiden pride
with heartless guile she dallied awhile
then threw the flow’r aside
oh, love for a year, a week, a day
but alas for the love that loves alway
give me a flow’r, dear love, said he
she threw the flow’r he craved
now by the love that i have for thee
my breaking heart is saved
he kiss’d it once with a tender sigh
and treasured it near his heart
tho’ years roll by, this flow’r and i
shall never, never part
oh, love for a year, a week, a day
but alas for the love that loves alway
they met again in the after years
in life’s sad sorrowful time;
their heads were heavy with age and tears
and white with the winter rime
he found the flow’r she scorn’d in play
at her faithful heart did dwell;
his flow’r, they say, he had cast away
before its petals fell
oh, love for a year, a week, a day
but alas for the love that loves alway
