There should be no despair for you / While nightly stars are burning; / While evening pours its silent dew, / And sunshine gilds the morning. / There should be no despair -- though tears / May flow down like a river: / Are not the best beloved of years / Around your heart for ever?
They weep, you weep, it must be so; / Winds sigh as you are sighing, / And winter sheds its grief in snow / Where Autumn's leaves are lying: / Yet, these revive, and from their fate / Your fate cannot be parted: / Then, journey on, if not elate, / Still, NEVER broken-hearted!
