LAURA'S SONG, by                    
First Line: Alas! Who knows or cares, my love
Last Line: Cling closer, love, and close thine eyes!
Subject(s): Love


ALAS! who knows or cares, my love,
If our love live or die, --
If thou thy frailty, sweet, should prove,
Or my soul thine deny?
Yet merging sorrow in delight,
Love's dream disputes our devious night.

None know, sweet love, nor care a thought
For our heart's vague desire,
Nor if our longing come to naught,
Or burn in aimless fire;
Let them alone, we'll waste no sighs:
Cling closer, love, and close thine eyes!
