Love’s Young Dream

Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

(See full text.)

O, THE DAYS are gone, when Beauty bright

My heart’s chain wove;

When my dream of life, from morn till night,

Was love, still love.

New hope may bloom,

And days may come,

Of milder, calmer beam;

But there’s nothing half so sweet in life

As love’s young dream.
