English text
- She is my love beyond all thought,
- Though she has wrought my deepest dole;
- Yet dearer for the cruel pain
- Than one who fain would make me whole.
- She is my glittering gem of gems,
- Who yet contemns my fortune bright;
- Whoose cheek but glows with redder scorn
- Since mine has worn a stricken white.
- She is my sun and moon and star,
- who yet so far and cold doth keep,
- She would not even o'er my bier
- One tender tear of pity weep.
- Into my heart unsought she came,
- A wasting flame, a haunting care;
- Into my heart of hearts, Ah! why?
- And left a sigh for ever there.
- Lyrics: Alfred Percival Graves (1846-1931) - from Songs of the Gael - (1908)
