The eyes wept not alone, my heart too, wept in your love's plight,
The eyes wept not alone, my heart too, wept in your love's night.
For you, my love, I lost all I held dear,
For you, my love, I lost peace, lost light.
The eyes wept not alone, my heart too, wept in your love's plight.
How to speak, how to tell, you, my love, a betrayer's guise,
You feel no hurt, no shame, though my honor slowly dies.
What do you know of feelings, love,
What do you know, when your conscience sleeps and lies?
The eyes wept not alone, my heart too, wept in your love's plight.
Joy has fled, it’s no longer here, only solitude I see,
Alas, you have killed me, why did you not set me free?
Death is not as cruel as this parting, that is me.
You, with my own hands, my love,
You washed your hands with my blood, for free.
The eyes wept not alone, my heart too, wept in your love's plight.
She who once called me her own, today, a stranger’s hold,
Alas, the price of loving, a story sadly told.
With my own tears, my love,
With my own tears, my own garment I unfold.
The eyes wept not alone, my heart too, wept in your love's plight.
The eyes wept not alone, my heart too, wept in your love's plight.
The eyes wept not alone, my heart too, wept in your love's plight.
