Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton - I Was Not False To Thee
Work rating: Low

I WAS not false to thee, and yet 
My cheek alone looked pale; 
My weary eye was dim and wet, 
My strength began to fail. 
Thou wert the same; thy looks were gay, 
Thy step was light and free; 
And yet, with truth, my heart can say, 
I was not false to thee!

I was not false to thee, yet now 
Thou hast a cheerful eye, 
With flushing cheek and drooping brow 
I wander mournfully. 
I hate to meet the gaze of men, 
I weep where none can see; 
Why do I only suffer, when 
I was not false to thee?

I was not false to thee; yet oh! 
How scornfully they smile, 
Who see me droop, who guess my woe, 
Yet court thee all the while. 
`Tis strange! but when long years are past, 
Thou wilt remember me; 
Whilst I can feel until the last, 
I was not false to thee!
