3^ They think my heart is breaking. In sorrow's bitter yoke, I too begin to think it. As well as other folk. Thou large-eyed little darling. Do I not always say I love thee past all telling— Love gnaws my heart away? But only in my chamber I dare express my pain; For always in thy presence Quite silent I remain. For there were evil angels Who sealed my lips so close. And oh! from evil angels Sprang all my wretched woes. 114

33 Ah, those pure white lily fingers, Once again could I but kiss them, Press them close against my heart. Melt away in silent weeping! Oh, those clearest eyes of violet Hover day and night before me, And I ponder o'er the meaning Of those lovely blue enigmas. "5

3^<br />

They think my heart is breaking.<br />

In sorrow's bitter yoke,<br />

I too begin to think it.<br />

As well as other folk.<br />

Thou large-eyed little darling.<br />

Do I not always say<br />

I love thee past all telling—<br />

Love gnaws my heart away?<br />

But only in my chamber<br />

I dare express my pain;<br />

For always in thy presence<br />

Quite silent I remain.<br />

For there were evil angels<br />

Who sealed my lips so close.<br />

And oh! from evil angels<br />

Sprang all my wretched woes.<br />
