1. The longing lover's heart she did bequeath
When she departed, though her sway

2. O'er mine remains. Though I reproach her still
She rules my heart, its love her trophy evermore.

3. Think not the bloom of youth once fled can ne'er
Return, like the ruby's faded glow restored.

4. Would that the days she wasted in disdain

5. Were now with favor's dawn fulfilled once more,
And that the last of estrangement's gloomy days
