What becomes of love that falters
Skies that turn from blue to grey
Tenderness which coldness alters
Eyes then sadly turn away
Hearts bereft of gentle feeling
With the passing of the years
Love once at the altar kneeling
Turning thus to bitter tears
Arms that ever were enfolding
Kisses sweet as summer rain
Hands so clasped and tightly holding
Parted now as love doth wane
Lost in dreams to feel that splendour
So unbounded long ago
Whispered words then sweet and tender
Blown away, no more to know
Cold and dark the waking morning
Sorrow borne the new day brings
Ever sad the moment dawning
When the heart no longer sings
