Lyrics
There is no one beside thee
And no one above thee
Thou standest alone as the nightingale sings
And my words that would praise thee
Are impotent things
For none can express thee
Tho’ all should approve thee
For none can express thee
Tho’ all should approve thee
I love thee so dear that I only can love thee
I love thee so dear that I only can love thee
Say what can I do for thee
Weary thee, grieve thee?
Lean on thy bosom, new burden to add?
Weep my tears over thee
Making thee sad
Oh! hold me not
Oh! love me not, love me not
Oh! hold me not, love me not
Let me retrieve thee
I love thee so dear
That I only can leave thee
I love thee so dear that I only
I only can leave thee
I only can leave thee
