ludwig van beethoven - jeanie's distress lyrics

Loading...

by william late offended
i blam’d him, i allow
and then my anger ended
and he is angry now
and i in turn am chided
for what i ne’er design’d;
and tho’by love misguided
am call’d myself unkind

so now, when i am nigh him
my looks must coldness wear;
they tell me i must fly him
at market and at fair;
nor near the th+rn+tree meet him
at evening, i suppose
nor in the morning greet him
as by the door he goes

nor at the kirk perceive him
but ponder on my book;
with downcast eyes deceive him
tho’ stealing oft a look
alas! how long must nature
this cruel war maintain?
content in every feature
while writhes my heart with pain?
o william, dost thou love me?
oh! sure i need not fear;
how, dearest, would it move thee
to see this falling tear!
too heedless, thoughtless lover
from what thyself must feel
why canst thou not discover
what jeanie must conceal?
