Lyrics
E’en as a lovely flower,
So fair, so pure tho art.
I gaze on thee
And sadness comes stealing.
Comes stealing,
Comes stealing on my heart.
My hands I fain have folded upon thy soft brown head.
Praying that God may keep thee
So Lovely, pure and fair.
E’en as a lovely flower
So fair, so pure tho art.
