Ah look upon these eyes

Once full of gladness


And now but founts of sadness



By day and night from grief

I vainly seek relief



Ah look into this heart

Once so contented

And now tormented



Then read the sorrow there

'Tis more than I can bear



Ah cruel cruel love

Thus to forsake me

Then welcome death and take me



In my unhappy state

I ask no other fate
