Oh, could I only forget her

Oh, could I only forget her,

Her fair, lovely, charming nature,

Her glance, her friendly lips!

Perhaps then I might be well!

But oh, my heart, my heart can never do so!

And yet it is madness to hope for her!

Yet to hover near her,

Gives me Life and Courage

Never to weaken.

And how then can I forget her,

her fair, lovely, charming nature,

Her glance, her friendly lips!

Much rather would I never be well again!
