I have loved you for long long years Ellen,
On you has my heart been set;
I have loved you for long patient years,
But you do not love me yet.

Oh that the sun that rose that day
Had never and never set,
When I wooed and you did not turn away,
Tho' you could not love me yet.

I lay lands and gold at your feet Ellen,
At your feet a coronet,
I lay a true heart at your feet Ellen,
But you do not love me yet.

Oh when I too lie dead at your feet,
And in death my heart is set,
Will you love me then, cold proud Ellen,
Tho' you will not love me yet? --
