Verse 2
They saw that my life was decaying,
They knew that my stay would be frief;
And still, though my spirit was straying
I told not a word of my grief
No whisper revealed my deceiver
No ear heard me sigh or complain;
My heart still adored its bereaver,
And longed but to meet him again.
My heart still adored its bereaver,
And longed but to meet him again.
