How Can I

How can I go on,
When you have gone?
How can I not grieve,
When you have taken your leave?

How can I not cry,
When without you I want to die?
How can I fall asleep,
When all night for you I’ll weep?

How can I not feel so low,
When my heart you vainly stole?
How can I live again,
When in me there is so much so pain?
