Lyrics
1. Are then the vows so lately spoken
Forgotten quite by thee?
Were pledges made, but to be broken
By thy inconstancy?
Were all thy tender words but feigning
Heartless thy loving sighs?
Or is thy sudden cold disdaining
But love in other, other guise?
But love in other, other guise, in other guise?
2. Fear not from me reproach or chiding
Fruitless were my appeals
Deep in my heart my sorrow hiding
Naught shall my grief reveal
E’en though my loving heart be breaking
Hidden shall be my woe
Smiles through my tears a rainbow making
None shall my anguish, anguish know
None shall my anguish, anguish know, my anguish know
Sung here by Fred Feild:
