How can I leave thee!
Carl Cramer
1.
How can I leave thee!
How can I bear to part!
That thou hast all my heart,
Dearest beleive!
Thou hast this soul of mine_
So wholly is it thine,
That I can love no one
But thee alone.
2.
Blue is the flow'ret,
Call'd the "Forget me not,"
Ah! lay it on thy heart,
And think of me_
Should hope fade with the flow'rs
Loves wealth shall still be ours
That will re-main with me
Dearest beleive.
3.
Were I a bird love,
Soon would I fly to thee,
Falcon nor Hawk to me
Should terror bring;
If shot by Huntsman's hand,
I at thy feet lay dead,
If thou one tear would'st shed,
Gladly I'd die__
