Some one you hold as the dearest of all | B |
In the holiest shrine of your heart | C |
Are you making it known Is the truth of it clear | A |
To the one you love If death's quick call | B |

Leaving no time for a long farewell | D |

Are you loving enough The swift years fly | F |
Oh faster and faster they hurry away | G |
And each one carries its dead | H |
The good deed left for the by and by | F |
The word to be uttered another day | G |
May never be done or said | H |
Let the love word sound in the listening ear | I |
Nor wait to speak it above a bier | I |
Oh the time for telling your love is brief | J |
But long long long is the time for grief | J |
Are you loving enough | K |
