Alas! alas! I can't forget,
The fateful hour when we met,
For still I see whate'er I view
eyes of pensive blue
But while so many swains see,
Do you my Clara think on me?
If so, I wish not to forget,
The hour when first met.
And still to others beauty cold,
May I, thought, your charms behold,
Still sit in memory rapt, view,
Those eyes of pensive blue.
But if by you, I'm quite forgot,
O! hard indeed will be my lot,
Since I alas! can ne'er forget,
The hour when we met.
