LOVE'S ENTREATY.
Copyright, 1894, by The Temple Music Co.
Words by Arthur J. Lamb.
Music by Louis Campbell Tipton.
Love, the day Is slowly dying,
Fades the sunset's wondrous gold;
My poor heart for thee is sighing,
As in happy days of old;
Come to me, oh, come to rue;
Tho' far away, my spirit is with thee;
Come to me, oh, come to me, tho' thou art gone,
Tho' thou art gone, my spirit is with thee.
Love, the wondrous stars are shining,
In the heaven's diadem;
Wherefore should my soul be pining,
For our home, dear, is with them;
Come to me, oh, come to me;
Tho' thou art gone, my spirit is with thee;
Come to me, oh, come to me; tho' thou art gone,
My spirit is with thee.
