Supplication

A. Aldridge

Strong arms that held me

Within their loving fold,

Dear lips that kiss'd me

Bringing joys untold

Come back again to me,

Your eyes with love a-glow

For you my heart is aching,

I miss you, miss you so!

Across the years I call you,

The weary years and grey

That brought to me no roses,

No song to cheer my way,

O love of mine, my life,

My all, a part we cannot be!

No lips can tell how dear you are,

how much you are to me!

Strong arms that held me

Within their loving fold,

Dear lips that kiss'd me

Bringing joys untold

Come back again to me,

Your eyes with love a-glow

For you my heart is aching,

I miss you, miss you so!
