O how our love is murderousA
The dearer something is to usA
The surer are we to destroy itB
In passion's savage blindnessA
Was it so long ago you saidC
Proud of your victory she's mineD
Barely a year gone stop and thinkE
What has remained of herF
Where are the roses in her cheeksG
Her smiling lips and shining eyesH
Rivers of scalding tearsI
Have scorched and burned them allJ
Do you remember how you metK
Your very first your fateful t te t teL
Her gaze enchanting and her wordsM
Her laughter lively child likeN
What have you now Where is it allJ
Was it a lasting dreamO
Alas like northern summersP
It was a fleeting guestQ
For her your love was naught butR
Fate's awful judgmentS
It weighed upon her lifeT
With undeserved shameU
A life of sacrifice a life of trialsV
Deep in her soulW
She cherished memoriesX
Yet even they've betrayed herF
And earthly life has turned against herF
Its charms have disappearedY
The surging crowd's ground in the dirtZ
All that had flourished in her heartA2
And what like ashes has she gatheredB2
After her long tormentC2
Pain the cruel pain of bitternessA
Pain without cease and without tearsI
O how our love is murderousA
The dearer something is to usA
The surer are we to destroy itB
In passion's savage blindnessA
