Cold in the earth and the deep snow piled above thee | B |
Far far removed cold in the dreary grave | C |
Have I forgot my Only Love to love thee | B |
Severed at last by Time's all wearing wave | C |
Now when alone do my thoughts no longer hover | D |
Over the mountains on Angora's shore | E |
Resting their wings where heath and fern leaves cover | D |
That noble heart for ever ever more | E |
- | |
Cold in the earth and fifteen wild Decembers | F |
From those brown hills have melted into spring | G |
Faithful indeed is the spirit that remembers | F |
After such years of change and suffering | G |
- | |
Sweet Love of youth forgive if I forget thee | B |
While the World's tide is bearing me along | H |
Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me | B |
Hopes which obscure but cannot do thee wrong | H |
- | |
No other Sun has lightened up my heaven | I |
No other Star has ever shone for me | B |
All my life's bliss from thy dear life was given | I |
All my life's bliss is in the grave with thee | B |
- | |
But when the days of golden dreams had perished | J |
And even Despair was powerless to destroy | K |
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished | J |
Strengthened and fed without the aid of joy | K |
- | |
Then did I check the tears of useless passion | I |
Weaned my young soul from yearning after thine | L |
Sternly denied its burning wish to hasten | I |
Down to that tomb already more than mine | L |
- | |
And even yet I dare not let it languish | M |
Dare not indulge in Memory's rapturous pain | N |
Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish | M |
How could I seek the empty world again | O |
