Too Late Dowglas Dowglas Tendir And Treu

Could ye come back to me,

Douglas,

Douglas,

In the old likeness that I knew,

I would be so faithful, so loving,

Douglas,

Douglas,

Douglas, tender and true.

Never a scornful word should grieve ye,

I'd smile on ye sweet as the angels do:

Sweet as your smile on me shone ever,

Douglas,

Douglas, tender and true.

Oh, to call back the days that are not!

My eyes were blinded, your words were few:

Do you know the truth now, up in heaven,

Douglas,

Douglas, tender and true?

I never was worthy of you,

Douglas;

Not half worthy the like of you:

Now all men beside seem to me like shadows -I love you,

Douglas, tender and true.

Stretch out your hand to me,

Douglas,

Douglas,

Drop forgiveness from heaven like dew;

As I lay my heart on your dead heart,

Douglas,

Douglas,

Douglas, tender and true!
