COURSE QUESTION

Song video
From: Fort Apache (1948), starring John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Shirley Temple
Lyrics: 
Well then, Oh, Genevieve I'd give the world
To live again the lonely past!
The rose of youth was dew-impearled;
But now it withers in the blast.
I see thy face in every dream,
My waking thoughts are full of thee;
Thy glance is in the starry beam
That falls along the Summer sea.

Oh, Genevieve, sweet Genevieve,
The years may come, the years may go,
But still the hands of memory weave
The blissful dreams of long ago.
