If I Should Wake
If I should wake to find my loved one gone,
No longer lying warmly by my side,
I would not have the heart to carry on.
Oh, it were better that I should have died.
If I should find him only in my dreams
And days bring loneliness and and misery,
Then I would long for night and its moonbeams
Sweet dreams would then my only solace be.
A life without my love, no life at all,
But mere existence thinking of the day
He left me only dreams and sweet recall
Of how it was before he went away.
Awakening at dawn I find him near
And for this day I put away my fear.
