E. Elgar

I gave my heart unto my love

As we passed across the dark, mysterious forest rast

The daylight faded and above

Ah! the sunset flam-ed down to gild the past.

Oh, my love! Oh, my life, dost thou remember?

My belov-ed? that dark December?

My heart with rapture o'erflow'd

My very inmost soul was waken'd,

We leaned against each other in the moon-light

Darkness came upon us, oh, lovely night.

We were lost then but ah! awaking!

Our hearts and souls were all aflame

As the forest deep unfolded us again.
