Song YES though weve loved so long

ES ....
though we've loved so long, so well,

Imperious duty bids us part;

But though thy breast with anguish swell,

A pang more lasting tears my heart.

My grief is dumb,....
loquacious thine,

The mournful hoard I sacred keep;

Thou seekest crowds, alone I pine;

My eyes are dry, but thine can weep.

Then, whatsoe'er thy lips have vowed,

A truer sorrow sways my soul;

For shallow streams run bright and loud,

Deep waters darkly silent roll.
