lyrics

If truth in hearts that perish
Could move the powers on high,
I think the love I bear you
Should make you not to die.
Oh sure, if steadfast meaning,
If single thought could save,
The world might end tomorrow,
You should not see the grave.

This long and sure-set liking,
This boundless will to please,
Oh, you should live for ever
If there were help in these.
But now, since all is idle,
To this lost heart be kind,
Ere to a town you journey
Where friends are ill to find.
