Would I Were With Thee.
Would I were with thee, ev’ry day and hour
Which now I pass so sadly far from thee,
Would that my form possess’d the magic power
To follow where my heavy heart would be;
Whate’er thy lot o’er land or sea,
Would I were with thee eternally.
Would I were with thee, when the world forgetting
Thy weary limbs upon the turf are thrown,
