Oh, ever thus, from childhood's hour,
I 've seen my fondest hopes decay;
I never loved a tree or flower
But 't was the first to fade away.
I never nurs'd a dear gazelle,
To glad me with its soft black eye,
But when it came to know me well
And love me, it was sure to die.

Thomas Moore

Oh! ever thus, from childhood's hour,
I've seen my fondest hope decay;
I never loved a tree or flower,
But 'twas the first to fade away.
I never nurs'd a dear gazelle To glad me with its soft black eye,
But when it came to know me well,
And love me, it was sure to die.

Thomas Moore

Love on through all ills, and love on till they die.

Thomas Moore

To live and die in scenes like this,
With some we 've left behind us.

Thomas Moore

From plants that wake when others sleep.
From timid jasmine buds that keep
Their odour to themselves all day,
But when the sunlight dies away
Let the delicious secret out
To every breeze that roams about.

Thomas Moore

I never nursed a dear gazelle,
To glad me with its soft black eye,
But when it came to know me well,
And love me, it was sure to die!
