Since First I Met Thee
Language: English
Since I met thee, I
resolved to love and honor thee.
Shouldst thou disdain me,
Still in my heart thou 'lt ever cherished be.
When first I heard thy voice enchanting
And looked within thine eyes soft glancing,
I thrilled with joy whene'er I felt thy presence near me :
I loved thee, I loved thee !
