Robert Silliman Hillyer - "Speak not of waning love and changing days" lyrics

Speak not of waning love and changing days, Youth may be short and life may not endure, Yet with a strength unslacked, a vision sure, My love companions thee in all thy ways. Whither thou wanderest in times unsure Of peace, however far thy spirit strays From love of me, my spirit ever stays Close to thy side, and there shall rest secure. If thou shouldst weary of me, and alone I walked with grief, yet should I be aware How far unworthy I had been to share In thy diviner life, or sing thy praise; If thou shouldst hate me, yet I am thine own,-- Speak not of waning love and changing days.
