[Where love is, there comes sorrow]
Where love is, there comes sorrow
Today or else tomorrow:
Endure the mood,
Love only means our good.
Today or else tomorrow:
Endure the mood,
Love only means our good.
Where love is, there comes pleasure
With or withouten measure,
Early or late
Cheering the sorriest state.
With or withouten measure,
Early or late
Cheering the sorriest state.
Where love is, all perfection
Is stored for heart's delection;
For where love is
Dwells every sort of bliss.
Is stored for heart's delection;
For where love is
Dwells every sort of bliss.
Who would not choose a sorrow
Love's self will cheer tomorrow?
One day of sorrow,
Then such a long tomorrow!
Love's self will cheer tomorrow?
One day of sorrow,
Then such a long tomorrow!
