Two little love songs

Song Cycle by Hermann Frederic Löhr (1872 - 1943)

?. For lack and love of you  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
For lack and love of you, love, 
  I pine the long days through ; 
I waste the powers 
Of the rich hours, 
  For lack and love of you. 

For lack and love of you, love, 
  All life is grown untrue ; 
O I squander 
And wander, 
  For lack and love of you. 

For lack and love of you, love, 
  I grow myself untrue ; 
I am drowning, 
Drowning, drowning. 
  For lack and love of you.
