I'd like to come to you today
Alas, I don't know how,
I ask in vain, no one can say
How you are doing now.
To whisper in your ear I'd like
A word or two anew –
Though in my heart I have a spike –
That I'm still loving you.
But I'm aware my wish is vain,
However hard I try,
And, as my longing gives me pain,
In misery I'll die.
Yet, you are always on my mind
Because I know your worth,
Although right now I am resigned
For lost you're on the earth.
