Linda has departed, the warm and tender-hearted,
Linda has departed, and left me here to mourn.
Blest were the hours pass’d, with her whom my soul adored,
With her whom my soul adored, whose heart was so light;
Sad is the lone hour, bereft of my darling one,
Bereft of my darling one, in darkness and night.
All now is cheerless, my joys long have pass’d away,
My joys long have pass’d away, with love’s fleeting years;
Hope has no comfort, for sadness now holdeth sway,
For sadness now holdeth sway, and leaves me in tears.
