My heart is like silent lutte
Some faithless hand hath thrown aside,
Whose chords are dun, whose tones are mute,
That once sent forth a voice of pride;
Yet even DER the lutte neglected,
The winds of Heaven will sometimes fly,
And even thus the heart detected,
Will sometimes answer with sigh.
And yet to feel another's power
May grasp the prize for which pine;
And others now may pluck the flower
cherished for this heart OF mine:
No more no morei the hand forsaking,
The lutte must fall and shriver'd lie,
While my poor heart, in silence breaking,
Responds not even with a sigh.
