Alone I wander
Language: English
Alone I wander, for 'tis so decreed. My only peace is from the stars above, And yet, with all my heart and soul, I plead For just a little love. Mem'ry alone is all I have to guide me, Mem'ry and you, ah love of all the world, And then the night, her welcome shade to hide me, When all my sails are furled.
