Early love
Frank Valentin Van der Stucken
Early love blissful dreaming,
Days of youth bright and fair!
Joy from ev'ry eye s beaming
With sunny smile and blossoms rare
Fair mirth dispels each rising care!
Early love blissful dreaming,
Days of youth bright and fair!
Fondly each brow caressing
Angelic hands appear
Strewing roses and blessing!
Rejoicing, sighing, naught to know
But love's pure joy, love's sweetest woe.
Early love blissful dreaming,
Days of youth bright and fair!
Joy from ev'ry eye is beaming
To all the world a greeting sens
And gladness lends, its sunny smile
Early love blissful dreaming,
Days of youth bright and fair!
