Not all my Torments

 Not all my torments

Will your pity move
All my cares
Does your cold heart remove.

A subtle torment-
You do me wrong
A torture O so long!
In sorrow I sing this song-

Your heart does mine great scorn
For pleasures you greatly remove
A final sigh does not improve
A weary soul-
Is worn.

A final call to life
Within my hour of strife
A tolling bell-
A resounding knell-
For I will fall until I die.
And you may be the why-
And when-
I don't return again.

Not all my torments
Will your pity move
All my cares
Does your cold heart remove.
