A heart unfeeling, and still I endure,
A heart unfeeling, and still I endure,
Empty the glass, yet I drink evermore,
Empty the glass, yet I drink evermore,
A heart unfeeling.
Behold the perfect plight of love's command,
Behold the perfect plight of love's command,
Though life's not welcome, still I extend,
A heart unfeeling.
Where now the heart to cherish and to hold?
Where now the heart to cherish and to hold?
Compulsions bind, yet still I unfold,
A heart unfeeling.
First, life a wine, now wine is life entire,
First, life a wine, now wine is life entire,
Someone pours, and I drink, consumed by fire,
A heart unfeeling, and still I endure,
A heart unfeeling.
