John Clarke-Whitfeld - So many tears of misery - текст песни (слова)

So many tears of misery 
 have failed to move your heart
 that wearied with your tyranny,
 despairing I depart:
 
 Yet think, at last relenting,
 Lest pity come too late,
 when, Love, the wrongs resenting,
 no more your smiles await.
 
 But, Oh! Regard with lenity
 this proud presumptuous strain,
 while frantic by your cruelty,
 I dare to brave your chain:
 
 Oh! Let thy heart consenting,
 once more again be mine,
 and I, with tears repenting,
 for ever will be thine!
