A LOVE LYRIC
Why art thou sad, my dearest?
What terror is it thou fearest,
Braver who art than I
The fiend to defy?
What terror is it thou fearest,
Braver who art than I
The fiend to defy?
Why art thou sad, my dearest?
And why in tears appearest,
Closer than I that wert
At hiding thy hurt?
And why in tears appearest,
Closer than I that wert
At hiding thy hurt?

Why art thou sad, my dearest,
Since now my voice thou hearest?
Who with a kiss restore
Thy valour of yore.
Since now my voice thou hearest?
Who with a kiss restore
Thy valour of yore.
