Oblivion



Fill the goblet again! For I never before

Felt the glow which now gladdens my heart:

my heart to its core



Let us drink! Who would not?

Since through life's varied round

In the goblet alone no deception is found



Oblivion

In the days of my youth

when my heart's in its spring

Oblivion

And dreams that affection can never wing



I have tried in it's turn

all that life can supply

I have bask'd in the beam

of a dark rolling eye



I have loved! Who has not?

But what heart can declare

That pleasure existed

while passion was there?



Oblivion

In the days of my youth

when my heart's in its spring

Oblivion

And dreams that affection can never wing



I had friends! Who has not?

But what tongue will avow

That friends, rosy wine!

Are as faithful as Thou



Oblivion

In the days of my youth

when the heart's in its spring

Oblivion

And dreams that affection can never wing



Oblivion
