Poetical Remains of the Late Mrs Hemans/Song for Air by Hummel
SONG FOR AIR BY HUMMEL.
Oh! if thou wilt not give thine heart,
Give back my own to me,
For if in thine I have no part,
Why should mine dwell with thee?
Yet no! this mournful love of mine
I will not from me cast;
Let me but dream 'twill win me thine
By its deep truth at last!
Can aught so fond, so faithful, live
Through years without reply?
Oh! if thy heart thou wilt not give,
Give me a thought, a sigh?
