1. There should be no despair for you
2. While nightly stars are burning;
3. While evening pours its silent dew,
4. And sunshine gilds the morning.
5. There should be no despair--though tears
6. May flow down like a river:
7. Are not the best beloved of years
8. Around your heart for ever?
9.  
10. They weep, you weep, it must be so;
11. Winds sigh as you are sighing,
12. And winter sheds its grief in snow
13. Where Autumn's leaves are lying:
14. Yet, these revive, and from their fate
15. Your fate cannot be parted:
16. Then, journey on, if not elate,
17. Still, NEVER broken-hearted!
