I'm thinking of the wooingA
That won my maiden heartB
When he he came pursuingA
A love unused to artB
Into the drowsy riverC
The moon transported flungD
Her soul that seemed to quiverC
With the songs my lover sungD
And the stars in rapture twinkledE
On the slumbrous world belowF
You see that old and wrinkledE
I'm not forgetful noF
-
He still should be repeatingA
The vows he uttered thenG
Alas the years though fleetingA
Are truer yet than menG
The summer moonlight glistensH
In the favorite trysting spotI
Where the river ever listensH
For a song it heareth notI
And I whose head is sprinkledE
With time's benumbing snowF
I languish old and wrinkledE
But not forgetful noF
-
What though he elsewhere turnethJ
To beauty strangely boldK
Still in my bosom burnethJ
The tender fire of oldK
And the words of love he told meL
And the songs he sung me thenG
Come crowding to uphold meL
And I live my youth againG
For when love's feet have tinkledE
On the pathway women goF
Though one be old and wrinkledE
She's not forgetful noF
