1. Wilt thou be true, dearest to me, Though I may wander far off from thee?      Over my heart           No gloom will come,      If thou art faithful           Where-e'er I roam.      Still in my dreams,           Thy angel face      Smiling through tear-drops           Fondly I'll trace      Thy voice will cheer           Life's journey through.      Wilt thou be true, love?           Wilt thou be true?

2. Wilt thou be true though fate shall bring Tempest and sorrows, clouding not spring?      Life's roses fair,           Now gem our way,      Wilt thou be constant           Should these decay?      Hope's gentle star           Beaming so bright,      Though fondly trusted,           May take its flight.      Should want and woe           Our steps pursue,      Wilt thou be true, love?           Wilt thou be true?

3. Wilt thou be true though lips of scorn, Seek to revile me when I am gone?      Say, wilt thou weep,           When evening falls,      As busy mem'ry           My form recalls?      Wilt thou be true?           Doubt swiftly flies      While I am gazing           Into thine eyes.      Through tearful gleams--           Through tender blue,      Sweetly they whisper           Thou wilt be true!
