How could I bear
Ever to part from thee?
Thee do I love, how well
Thou canst not tell.
I am of rest bereav'd,
Thou hast my soul enslav'd,
Nowhere I care to be,
But, love, with thee.
Blue is the flow'r we call "Forgetmenot";
This flow'r then take to thee, and think on me.
Should hope and flow'r decay,
Dare still on me to stay,
Love with me cannot die,
Thou may'st rely.
Were I a bird,
Soon would I be with thee,
Braving the stormy sky,
Swift would I fly
But should the fowler's ball
Reach me, and I must fall,
Under thy loving eye
Fain would I die.
