Lyrics
THE SELF BANISHED
It is not that I love you lessBut to prevent the sad increaseIn vain! (alas!) for ev'ry thingYour form does to my fancy bring,Who in the Spring from the new SunToo late begins those shafts to shun,Too late he would the pain assuage,About with him he bears the pain,Abscence is vain for ev'ry thingYour form does to my fancy bring,But vow'd I have, and never mustFor if I break, you may mistrustRecordings
