Silently you came into my world
I was never in expectant of someone like you
Still, I welcomed you wholeheartedly
Because I've always yielded for this kind of feeling ...
Now, O now, in this brown land
Where Love did so sweet music make
We two shall wander, hand in hand,
Forbearing for old friendship' sake,
Nor grieve because our love was gay
Which now is ended in this way.
