i leave thee for a while - ghizela rowe - eliza cook lyrics

Loading...

i leave thee for awhile, my love, i leave thee with a sigh;
the fountain spring within my soul is playing in mine eye;
i do not blush to own the tear,—+let, let it touch my cheek
and what my lip has failed to tell, that drop perchance may speak
mavourneen! when again i seek my green isle in the west
oh, promise thou wilt share my lot, and set this heart at rest

i leave thee for awhile, my love; but every hour will be
uncheered and lonely till the one that brings me back to thee
i go to make my riches more; but where is man to find
a vein of gold so rich and pure as that i leave behind?
mavourneen! though my home might be the fairest earth possessed
till thou wouldst share and make it warm, this heart would know no rest

i leave thee for awhile, my love; my cheek is cold and white
but ah, i see a promise stand within thy glance of light;
when next i seek old, erin’s shore, thy step will bless it too
and then the grass will seem more green, the sky will have more blue
mavourneen! first and dearest loved, there’s sunshine in my breast
for thou wilt share my future lot, and set this heart at rest
