1. O beautiful one, so fair
With virtues beyond compare

2. In my heart pangs of despair
For this estrangement I can't bear

3. My darling, enough, I say
Of your coldness day by day

4. What remains of my forbearance fades away
And my patience eaten away

5. I wonder, will you to me, ever be loving and good
With cheeks so rosy and bright

6. And keep faithful your plighted troth
With the joy of reunion's light
