Forget‑me‑not Matches base text
Language: English
From the depths of thy lovely eyes, My dear forget-me-not, Comes the truth that never dies, And the blue from heaven above. In the sparkle the sunlight gleams, My dear forget-me-not, And I live in their golden beams, For my heart is captive there! When grief lends her pearls to their light, My own forget-me-not, Deny me no longer the right To love and protect thee for aye.
