WARNING
SOME day your day will come:-
My day has long gone by:-
And now in looking back,
I tremble and I sigh,
Remembering well nigh,
How you left me alone,
With crushed and bleeding heart,
So desolate to die:-
Left me despairing love,
Which racked my very soul,
Eyes dimmed with tears of blood,
That down my blanched cheeks flowed.
Oh, those remorseful sighs
Pierced my poor heart with cries:-
Some day your day will come,
Mine has gone by. Again,
I tremble and i sigh,
Remembering Death's cold clasp,
Which threatened, yet passed by,
Sad pangs my soul did know,
Anguish, and Oh, such woe:-
Some day your day will come,
My day has long gone by.
My day has long gone by:-
And now in looking back,
I tremble and I sigh,
Remembering well nigh,
How you left me alone,
With crushed and bleeding heart,
So desolate to die:-
Left me despairing love,
Which racked my very soul,
Eyes dimmed with tears of blood,
That down my blanched cheeks flowed.
Oh, those remorseful sighs
Pierced my poor heart with cries:-
Some day your day will come,
Mine has gone by. Again,
I tremble and i sigh,
Remembering Death's cold clasp,
Which threatened, yet passed by,
Sad pangs my soul did know,
Anguish, and Oh, such woe:-
Some day your day will come,
My day has long gone by.
