When the soft sweet wind o' the south went byA
I dwelt in the light of a dark brown eyeA
And out where the robin sang his songB
We lived and loved while the days were longB
-
In the sweet sweet eves when the moon swung highA
We wandered under the starry skyA
Or sat in the porch and the moon looked throughC
The latticed wall where the roses grewC
-
My lips that hd no lover's kissD
You taught the art till they trilled in blissD
And the moon and the stars and the roses knewC
That the heart you won was pure and trueC
-
But true hearts weary men maybeE
For you grew weary of love and meE
Over the porch the dead vines hangF
And a mourning dove sobs where the robin sangF
-
In a warmer clime does another sighA
Under the light of your dark brown eyeA
Did you follow the soft sweet wing o' the southG
And are you kissing a redder mouthG
-
Lips may be redder and eyes more brightH
The face may be fairer you see to nightH
But never love while the stars shall shineI
Will you find a heart that is truer than mineI
-
Sometime perhaps when south winds blowJ
You will think of a love you used to knowJ
Sometime perhaps when a robin singsK
Your heart will go back to olden thingsK
-
Sometime you will weary of this world's artsL
Of deceit and change and hollow heartsL
And wearying sigh for the 'used to be '-
And your feet will turn to the porch and meE
-
I shall watch for you here when days grow longB
I shall list for your step through the robin's songB
I shall sit in the porch where the moon looks throughC
And a vacant chair will wait for youC
-
You may stray and forget and rove afarM
But my changeless love like the polar starM
Will draw you at length o'er land and seaE
And I know you will yet come back to meE
-
The years may come and the years may goJ
But sometime again when south winds blowJ
When roses bloom and the moon swings highA
I shall live in he light of your dark brown eyeA
