Oh, Promise Me

lyrics or other text:
Oh, promise me that someday you and I
Will take our love together to some sky
Where we can be alone, and faith renew,
And find the hollows where tose flowers grew,
Those first sweet violets of early spring
Which come in whispers, thrill us both, and sing
Of love unspeakable that is to be;
Oh, promise me! oh, promise me!
Oh, promise me that you will take my hand,
The most unworthy in this lonely land,
And liet me sit beside you, in your eyes
Seeing the vision of our paradise,
Hearing God's message while the organ rolls
Its mighty music to our very souls;
No love less perfect than a life with thee;
Oh, promise me! oh, promise me!
