I Loved You Once

Loved you once, but my heart can't be quiet

For it would seem that love still lingers there

But don't you be troubled by it

I wouls in no way hurt you, oh, my dear

Iloved you without hope, a mute offender

What jealous pangs, what shy despairs I knew

A love as deep as this, as true, as tender

If I ask GOD for another he may yet offer you
