edward elgar - the self banished lyrics

Loading...

it is not that i love you less
than when before your feet i lay:
but to prevent the sad increase
of hopeless love, i keep away

in vain! (alas!) for ev’ry thing
which i have known belong to you
your form does to my fancy bring
and makes my old wounds bleed anew

who in the spring from the new sun
already has a fever got
too late begins those shafts to shun
which phoebus through his veins has shot

too late he would the pain assuage
and to shadows thick he doth retire;
about with him he bears the pain
and in his tainted blood the fire
absence is vain for ev’ry thing
that i have known belong to you
your form does to my fancy bring
and makes my old wounds bleed anew

but vow’d i have, and never must
your banish’d servant trouble you;
for if i break, you may mistrust
the vow i made to love you, too

- edward elgar lyrics
