Ah! I Remember That Sweet Hour

Ah! I remember that sweet hour,

When first my bosom owned loves power,

And hope a garland wove me,

When Henry held me to his heart,

And fondly cried though now we part

Dear maid for life, for life I love thee!

Then swiftly passed those hours away,

And all was joy that happy day.

Ah, Henry! Will thou come to me,

As true as I have been to thee,

And never leave me, never never?

Oh yes! He'll faithful prove, I know;

There's something here that tells me so.

He'll soon be mine forever, forever

Then each sad thought will pass away,

And all was joy that happy day.
