First Line: Only tell her that I love
Last Line: Why, o why should I despair?
Alternate Author Name(s): Cutts Of Gowran, Baron
Subject(s): Despair
ONLY tell her that I love:
Leave the rest to her and Fate:
Some kind planet from above
May perhaps her pity move:
Lovers on their stars must wait. --
Only tell her that I love!
Why, O why should I despair!
Mercy 's pictured in her eye:
If she once vouchsafe to hear,
Welcome Hope and farewell Fear!10
She's too good to let me die. --
Why, O why should I despair?
