One moment may with bliss repay Unnumbered hours of pain.
Ye are brothers! ye are men! And we conquer but to save.
To live in the hearts of others is not to die
Never wedding, ever wooing, Still a lovelorn heart pursuing, Read you not the wrong you're doing In my cheek's pale hue? All my life with sorrow strewing; Wed or cease to woo.
Oh, how hard it is to find The one just suited to our mind!
Coming events cast their shadows before.
