Lyrics
Oh Cupid, pray tell why you deny
And refuse to comply
Whenever I ask your kindly aid?
No response to my prayer, ah, why?
Our trusting hearts you mould I am told
Pray, your secret unfold
Ah! help a lonely, lovelorn one
Whose heart is cold
Refrain:
Richer than gold, Love that is true
Story that’s old, still ever new
Knowledge I yearn! Teach me, I pray
Quickly I’ll learn, show me the way
Darksome and drear, life without love
Love that’s sincere, blest all above
Treasure most rare! sent from above
Come to my heart and let me live and love
