Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 5
Speak, Oh! Speak to Me Again.
Copyright, 1870, by Harrison Millard.
Speak, oh! speak to me again,
Cause me not unwonted pain;
Words of love should uever cease
When they bring such heartfelt peace;
Let me bask within thy smile,
Let thy songs my heart beguile,
Let me bask within thy smile,
Let thy songs my heart beguile,
Cause me not unwonted pain-
Let me hear thy voice again.
Summer will not always last,
Noon of life will soon be past;
Like the flowers we too must fade-
Pass from sunshine into shade;
Wither like the leaves that fall,
And the earth encompass all!
Wither like the leavers that fall,
And the earth encompass all!
Cause me not unwonted pain-
Let me hear thee speak aguin.
As the sun with roseate rays,
Brightly tints the dying days;
As the moon with soflen'd beam,
Silvers up the limpid stream;
Let thine eyes my radiance be,
Oh! reflect thy soul on me!
Let thine eyes my radiance be,
Oh! reflect thy soul on me!
Cause me not unwonted pain-
Ah! ah! I hear thee speak again.
