When Love Awakes 1917

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 31 Dec 2003

What is this thrill
I ne'er have known before?
My heart is singing!
And o'er and o'er
I hear the words,
the telltale looks and sighs,
that set me dreaming of Paradise!
Joy from above!
It must be love,
this bliss that fondly
I'm dreaming of!
For when Love at last is waking,
like the dawn of a beautiful day,
with the crimson sunrise breaking,
as the shadows glide swift away;
then the heart, no longer lonely,
but enthralled by a rapture to be,
whispers: "Love, I love you only!
Tell me, love, that you love but me!"
Grant that I have read aright
fortune's decree!
I should be forsaken quite,
Love, parted from thee!
Heart of mine!
Don't repine, love and my soul is awake!
For when love at last is waking
like the dawn of a beautiful day,
with the crimson sunrise breaking,
as the shadows glide swift away,
then the heart, no longer lonely,
but enthralled by a rapture to be,
whispers: "Love, I love you only!
Tell me, love,
that you love but me!"
