Lost in my Quiet for ever
English source:
Anon.
Lost is my quiet for ever,
Lost is life’s happiest part;
Lost all my tender endeavour
To touch an insensible heart.
But tho’ my despair is past curing,
And much undeserv’d is my fate;
I’ll show by a patient enduring,
My love is unmov’d as her hate.
Lost is life’s happiest part;
Lost all my tender endeavour
To touch an insensible heart.
But tho’ my despair is past curing,
And much undeserv’d is my fate;
I’ll show by a patient enduring,
My love is unmov’d as her hate.
