1.
I cannot love another,
For, when in youth we met,
The flame I tried to smother,
Lives in my bosom yet.
Tho' other hands caress thee,
And other hearts are thine;
No other lips can bless thee,
With warmer prayers than mine.

2.
My last fond hope has perished,
Another is thy bride;
Her every smile is cherished,
And she is by thy side.
Her jealous eye turns on me,
A look of haughty scorn;
And thou art wont to shun me,
While I am living on.

3.
Farewell, farewell, forever!
But sometimes think of me;
The links I cannot sever
That bind my heart to thee.
Be happy with thy treasure,
The idol proudly won;
Be life a scene of pleasure,
'Neath Joy's unsetting sun.
