Early love
Language: English after the Dutch (Nederlands)
Early love blissful dreaming, Days of youth bright and fair! Joy from ev'ry eye s beaming With sunny smile and blossoms rare Fair mirth dispels each rising care! Early love blissful dreaming, Days of youth bright and fair! Fondly each brow caressing Angelic hands appear Strewing roses and blessing! Rejoicing, sighing, naught to know But love's pure joy, love's sweetest woe. Early love blissful dreaming, Days of youth bright and fair! Joy from ev'ry eye is beaming To all the world a greeting sens And gladness lends, its sunny smile Early love blissful dreaming, Days of youth bright and fair!
