I saw you in the evening <br />Where flowers all are glowing <br />And little birds do sing <br />Until their time of going <br />When a heart's aching lonely <br />And remembering the past <br />The trust of love that's only <br />For a moment to last <br /> <br />I once was quite contented <br />With everything I'd try <br />But now my feelings are blended <br />In hours of its goodbye <br />Through the morning of its bliss <br />Till the eve of its night <br />Each remembrance and its kiss <br />When we meet days bright <br /> <br />I saw you in the evening <br />And you were further gone <br />Each memory was bringing <br />The hours that life had won <br />But you were in your doubt <br />If you had done your best <br />For continuation is all about <br />What you to love have confessed <br /> <br />Look through pages long-ago <br />And find those forgotten one <br />Like flowers they shall glow <br />Countersigns in its on and on <br />Through the morning of its bliss <br />Till the eve of its night <br />Each remembrance and its kiss <br />When we meet days bright <br /> <br />Love is forever if it’s true <br />Never forgotten in its clear <br />Like break of day always renew <br />From its rising everywhere <br />I once was quite contented <br />With everything I'd try <br />But now my feelings are blended <br />In hours of its goodbye <br /> <br />I saw you in the evening <br />Where flowers all are glowing <br />And little birds do sing <br />Until their time of going <br />When a heart's aching lonely <br />And remembering the past <br />The trust of love that's only <br />For a moment to last<br /><br />Peter S.
