Oh promise me, that some day
you and I
Will take our love together to
some sky
Where we can be alone and faith
renew,
And find the hollows where
those flowers grew,
Those first sweet violets of early
spring,
Which come in whispers, thrill us
both and sing
Of love unspeakable that is to be;
Oh promise me! Oh promise me!
Oh promise me, that you will
take my hand,
The most unworthy in this lonely
land,
And let me sit beside you, in your
eyes
Seeing the vision of our paradise,
Hearing God's message while the
organ rolls
Its mighty music to our very souls;
No love less perfect than a life
with thee;
Oh promise me! Oh promise me!
