When I a word would say?You say, you do not love me;But saying this you sigh,Which tells me plainly, persevere!Ill love you by and by. Oh! tell me, why at close of day You stand beside the when I come you always say I wish youd come no more; And why, wheneer I leave you, The tear drops fill your eye,They tell me plainly, come again! Ill love you by and by. 46 BV AND BY.

Youd love me by and by.
