SONG. FROM THE GERMAN “DU, DU,” ETC. ETC.
I
Thou,—thou,—o'er my heart reignest,—Thou,—thou,—rulest o'er my thought,—
Still, thou,—thou that loving heart painest,
Nor dream'st with what passion 'tis fraught.
Yes—Yes!—Ah!—Yes—Yes!
With what passion,—what passion, 'tis fraught!
II
So, so,—even so as I love thee,So, so,—even so thou lov'st me,
Deep, deep, the emotions that move thee,
Deep as mine own still must be!
Yes—Yes!—Ah!—Yes—Yes!
Deep as mine own still must be!
317
III
Thine,—thine,—my thoughts shall be nightly,Thine,—thine,—my thoughts are by day;
Thou,—thou,—the heart that beat lightly,
Hast scared from its quiet away,—
Yes—Yes!—Ah!—Yes—Yes!
Hast scared from its quiet away!
IV
When,—when thou hast departed,Lives,—lives thine image for me;
Then,—then,—though half broken-hearted,
I feel Love still binds, me and thee!
Yes—Yes!—Ah!—Yes—Yes!
I feel Love still binds, thee and me!
