My love

O, faithful, dramatic, romantic Hope, Whose dreams are fairer than the sunset skies,

Whose heart is filled with all the world's best joys,

And whose young life is full of tender sighs,

Come to me now and bring thy magic wand,

And touch my soul with all thy wondrous power,

And make me worthy of the hand Of her who holds my heart within her hour.

O, give me strength to be her faithful knight,

To guard her through the years of life's long day,

To love her with a love that knows no blight,

And to be true to her until I die.

O, give me hope to win her heart at last, And make my life a romance of the true, And then I'll ask no more of life at last,

But live and love and die for you.
