Original text and translations

English text

The world may teem with life so gay,
The flower may smile on every spray,
The birds may sing, the sun may shine,
But what to me such things sublime
If one I love forgets me.
Forget him, I can ne’er forget,
I only wish we ne’er had met,
For sorrow tells upon the heart,
Its saddest memories ne’er depart,
For I shall never be the same
Since I have known his once loved name,
Since one I love forgets me.
