SONG
[All mortal joys I could forsake]
All mortal joys I could forsake,
Bid home and friends adieu,
Of life itself a parting take,
But never of you, my love,
Never of you!
Bid home and friends adieu,
Of life itself a parting take,
But never of you, my love,
Never of you!
For sure of all that know thy worth
This bosom beats most true;
And where could I behold on earth
Another form like you, my love,
Another like you?
This bosom beats most true;
And where could I behold on earth
Another form like you, my love,
Another like you?
