We have met and we have parted We have spoke our last goodbye You have proved to me falsehearted You may now forever go You have wrecked the heart I've cherished You have doomed me day by day You are false, but I forgive you To forget you, I cannot stay For I love you, dear, I love you More than all this world I know You have proved to me falsehearted You may now forever go On the river bank I'll loiter Till I'll see your face once more Then I'll plunge beneath the water And I'll land on some far shore Among the trees and bushes Where the dark green willow waves In the cold and silent rushes There you'll find my lonely grave For I love you, dear, I love you More than all this world I know You have proved to me falsehearted You may now forever go Oh, I wish I was white marble Cold and white on some far shore This poor heart would cease from troubling And I'd feel the pain no more For I love you, dear, I love you More than all this world I know You have proved to me falsehearted You may now forever go
