Take back the freedom thou cravest Leaving the fetters to me Take back the vows thou hast spoken Fling them aside and be free Smile over each pitiful token Leaving the sorrows for me Drink deep of life's fond illusion Gaze on the storm clouds and flee Swiftly through strife and confusion Leaving the burden to me Then when at last overtaken Time flings its fetters o'er thee Come back with a trust still unshaken Come back a captive to me Come back in sadness or sorrow Once more my darling to be Come as of old love to borrow Glimpses of sunlight from me Love shall resume her dominion Striving no more to be free When on her world-weary pinion Flies back my lost love to me |
