Stephen Foster
Molly, Do You Love Me?
Molly do you love me?
Can the morning beam
Love a lowly flowret
Living in its gleam?
Let one gentle whisper
All my doubts destroy —
Let my dreamy rapture
Turn to waking joy
Molly do you love me?
Tell me, tell me true!
Molly do you love me
Love as I love you?
Tell me, by these ringlets
By those eyes of blue
Molly! do you love me
Love as I love you?
Can that voice’s music
Flow from heartless glee?
Must I read no feeling
In that melody?
Molly! do you love me?
Tell me, tell me true!
Molly! do you love me
Love as I love you?
Ah! my heart has yielded
To those smiles that play
With the merry dimples
All the live-long day
Though the tender blossoms
Need the summer light
Let our hearts, united
Brave affliction’s blight
Molly! do you love me?
Tell me, tell me true!
Molly! do you love me
Love as I love you?
