| Alexis. |  |
| Thou hast the power thy vaunted love To sanctify, all doubt above, Despite the gathering shade: To make that love of thine so sure That, come what may, it must endure Till time itself shall fade. Thy love is but a flower That fades within the hour! If such thy love, oh, shame! Call it by other name – Thy love is but a flower That fades within the hour! If such thy love, oh, shame! Call it by other name – It is not love! It is not love! |
Thine is the power and thine alone,
To place me on so proud a throne
That kings might envy me!
A priceless throne of love untold,
More rare than orient pearl and gold.
But no! No, thou wouldst be free!
Such love is like the ray
That dies within the day:
If such thy love, oh, shame!
Call it by other name –
Such love is like the ray
That dies within the day:
If such thy love, oh, shame!
Call it by other name–
It is not love!
It is not love!
