Wilt thou love me, sweet, when my hair is grey And my cheeks shall have lost their hue? When the charms of youth shall have passed away, Will your love of as old prove true?
For the looks may change, and the heart may range, And the love be no longer fond; Wilt thou love with truth in the years of youth And away to the years beyond?
Oh, I love you, sweet, for your locks of brown And the blush on your cheek that lies - But I love you most for the kindly heart That i see in your clear blue eyes.
For the eyes are signs of the soul within, Of the heart that is leal and true; And mine own sweetheart, I shall love you still For as long as your eyes are blue.
For the locks may bleach, and the cheeks of peach May be reft of their golden hue; But mine own sweetheart, I will love you still For as long as your eyes are blue.
- Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson
