No dearest, for my love is eternally And how I carest canst thou compareth be Haveth I been weary of my groaning For morow thou shouldst soon embark All night make I in my bed thinking Hast I water my couch with tears like a lark But thy words of love consoleth me 'Twas whispered in my ears like buzz of bee Though I'll be suffering with languor Thy thought will make me fain every hour Ah!
