Alone!

I found her whlist I was Alone
And she at home within her dwelling
Could sense in me my senses swelling
She asked me for my name.

Alone! I cried, Alone! Alone!
Lost from love and far from home
Come join me on my throne she cried
My husbands dead and brother tied,
Bound in blissful agony in kingdom over yonder sea
Married to the pricess V. Virgin Venus is her name.

Left here now in palace walls
With banners hung and trumpet calls
What a life is this for a Queen like I?
When every night I lay down to die.

You. Alone! No longer shall be
Together your name, Together we'll be
Come, come and come again
But leave me and you loose your name.
