Whene’er I Lift My Eyes to Bliss + 

Whene’er I lift my eyes to bliss, + 

I stagger blind with pain, + 

Afar into the folding night + 

The silence, and the rain. + 

Whene’er I feel the urge of Spring, + 

A throbbing, unknown woe + 

Enfolds me; I am desolate + 

When love is calling low. + 
