A song in my heart pipes ever and ever So sweet! So sweet! But a song that my voice may never, ah! never Repeat! repeat! Oh, the love of my love is in every beat Of the song that my voice may never repeat, My sweet! My sweet! Over your bower I sing tonight, My own! My own! But the song is a wraith of our old delight, For lone, alone! I flutter and sigh in the starry zone, I flutter and sing alone, alone, My own!
