Lyrics
The joy of love comes only to depart
Its sorrows bitter through a lifetime prove
I gave up all for cruel Sylvia’s love
Too soon I find another owns her heart
The joy of love comes only to depart
Its sorrows bitter through a lifetime prove
“Long as the streamlet its waves may softly pour
The meadow passing on its joyous way
My love shall be thine,” would Sylvia softly say
Still flows the stream, but Sylvia loves no more
The joy of love comes only to depart
Its sorrows bitter through a lifetime prove
