E'en As A Lovely Flower - 1916 - Frank Bridge

James Pitt-Payne and Ian Cousins

E'en as a lovely flower,
So fair, so pure thou art,
I gaze on thee, and sadness
Comes stealing, comes stealing,
comes stealing o'er my heart.
My hands I fain had folded
Upon thy soft brown hair,
Praying that God may keep thee
So lovely, pure, and fair.
E'en as a lovely flower,
So fair, so pure thou art.
