And to be thus broken hearted,

This is grief—this is grief.

Yet, I love her—I confess it,

More than ever—more than ever;

Love’s a stream—you can’t repress it,

Mine’s a river! mine’s a river!

Life, soul, feeling, all are given,

All my store—all my store;

In her, round her—there’s my Heaven,

I want no more—I want no more.
