Rhymes of Old Plimouth

by Herbert Randall

LOVE O’ MY HEART.

Give me the same old road,

With its old stone walls and vines,

The same old hearth and the same old friends,

And the same old love that never ends;

Stars in the self-same-sky,

And the long lost dreams of bliss,

In the old-time way,

And my gods of clay,

And the same dear lips to kiss.

Give me the slender hands,

Ah yes, give me the tears,

The same old grief,

And the withered leaf,

The largo of the years.
