Remember you my love

A family member of mine from the early 1900's wrote this and it was in a box of family things my father had given me. I just thought it was beautiful and wanted to share his song.

When the curtains of night are pinned back by the stars
And the beautiful moon leaps the skies
And the dew drops of Heaven are kissing the rise
Is it then that my memory flies
As if on the wings of a beautiful dove
In haste with the message it bears
To bring you a kiss of affection and say
I'll remember you love in my prayers

To where you'll be on land or at sea
I'll share all your sorrows and cares
and when by my bedside I kneel to pray
I'll remember you love in my prayers

I've loved you fondly to ever forget
The love that you have spoken for me
and the kisses of affection still warm on my lips
When you told me how true you would be
I know not if fortune fickle or friend
Or if time on your memory wears
I know that I love you where ever you roam
And remember you love in my prayers

To where you'll be on land or at sea
I'll share all your sorrow and cares
And when by my bedside I kneel to pray
I'll remember you love in my prayers

When Heavenly angels are guarding the good
As God has acclaimed them to do
In answer to prayers and kisses offered to him
I know there is one watching you through life
And may its bright spirit be with you
To guide you up heavens bright stairs
To meet with the one who has loved you so true

I'll remember you love in my prayers

Author's Note

I tried to copy it word for word in his honor, however it was written on lined paper from like 80 or more years ago and it was hard to make out every single word. It was also hard because the English was different back then. I hope you all enjoy his song.

This is very beautiful. My religion teacher told me that if somebody remembers you in his/her prayers then he/she truly loves you.
Beautiful message from your relative.
