Playing version

Oh, the Cyears creep slowly by, FLorena, the Gsnow is on the ground Cagain

The Csun's low down the sky, FLorena, the Gfrost gleams where the flow'rs have Cbeen.

But the Amheart throbs on as warmly Dmnow, as Ewhen the summer days were Amnigh. G

Oh, the Csun can never dip so FlowDm, And-Gdown affection's cloudless Csky.

C E F G

A Chundred months have passed, LoFrena, since Glast I held that hand in Cmine,

And Cfelt the pulse beat fast, LoFrena, Though Gmine beat faster far than Cthine.

A Amhundred months, 'twas flowery DmMay, When Eup the hilly slope we Amclimbed, G

To Cwatch the dying of the FdayDm, and Ghear the distant church bells Cchime.

C E F G

It Cmatters little now, LorFena, The Gpast is in the eternal Cpast;

Our Cheads will soon lie low, LoFrena, Life's Gtide is ebbing out so Cfast.

There is a AmFuture! O, thank DmGod! Of Elife this is so small a Ampart! G

'Tis Cdust to dust beneath the FsodDm; but Gthere, up there, 'tis heart to Cheart.
