Song

Oh! if thou wilt not give thine heart,
Give back my own to me;
For if in thine I have no part,
Why should mine dwell with thee?

Yet no! this mournful love of mine
I will not from me cast;
Let me but dream ’twill win me thine
By its deep truth at last!

Can aught so fond, so faithful, live
Through years without reply?
--Oh! if thy heart thou wilt not give,
Give me a thought, a sigh!
