No beacon gleams afar;

A wilderness of winter, frost and snow,

Sad and alone I hang my head in woe.

’Tis vain to strive against the will of fate

(No sun, no moon, no star);

Where I had looked for love, I found but hate

(No beacon gleams afar);

I gave my heart, my all, to one who cares

Now nought for me—no one my sorrow shares.
