God Bless and Keep Thee

I know not if thy love be as a flower
In autumn, and has faded now from me
I know not, if I came now as of yore
You would greet me
I can but pray:
"God bless and keep thee
God bless and keep thee
Keep thee, my love for [e'er and e'er]1."

I know not if thy love be as a fortress
And has withstood all other loves for me
I only know my love for thee is changeless
I still love thee
Each day I pray:
"God bless and keep thee
God bless and keep thee
Keep thee, my love for e'er and e'er."
