Believe Me...

Description

Believe me if all those
Endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow
And fleet in my arms,
Like fairy gifts fading away
Though would'st still be adored
As this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin
Each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself
Verdantly still.

It is not while beauty
And youth are thine own
And thy cheeks
Unprofaned by a tear
That the ferver and faith
Of a soul can be known
To which time will but
Make thee more dear
No the heart that has truly loved
Never forgets
But as truly loves
On to the close
As the sunflower turns
On her god when he sets
The same look which
She'd turned when he rose.

Thomas Moore
1808

Character notes: Although this song is usually sung with a sad tone, you can tell by the lyrics that it is one of comfort and reassurance. Also the fact that it is so old makes it all the more true to his character's timeless manor and good form. I can think of no more fitting song for Wolf to play and sing for his dear wife.

Fun Fact: This is the song usual used for the Looney Tunes exploding piano gag. I'm sure most are not aware of what a pretty song it really is, nor the great deal of feeling it is intended to convey.
