(Cynthia Bullock)
When wilt thou think of me? / When the vesper bell is pealing, / And its distant sounds are stealing / Softly on the listening ear, / Breathing music sweet and clear; / When in prayer on bended knee, / Wilt thou then remember me?
When wilt thou think of me? / When the twilight fades away, / And the bird hath ceased its lay, / And the quiet evening shade / Lingers in the silent glade; / When thy thoughts are wandering free, / Wilt thou then remember me?
When wilt thou think of me? / When thy gentle heart is crushed, / And its sweetest tones are hushed; / When upon some faithful breast, / Thou wouldst lull thy grief to rest, / Then in whispers soft to thee / I would say, remember me.
