Love's Old Sweet Song

Once in the dear, dead days beyond recall

When on the world the mists began to fall

Out of the dreams that rose in happy throng

Low to our hearts sang an old, sweet song

And in the dusk where fell the firelight gleam

Softly it wove itself into our dream

Just a song at twilight

When the lights are low

And the flickering shadows

Softly come and go

Though the heart be weary

Sad the day and long

To us at twilight comes love's old song

Comes love's old sweet song

Though the heart be weary

Sad the day and long

Still to us at twilight comes love's old song

Comes love's old sweet song
