Now, O, Now, I Needs Must Part
Now, o now I needs must part
Parting though I absent mourn
Absence can no joy impart;
Joy once fled cannot return
While I live I needs must love
Love lives not when hope is gone
Now at last despair doth prove
Love divided loveth none
Sad despair doth drive me hence;
This despair unkindness sends
If that parting be offence
It is she which then offends
Dear, when I from thee am gone
Gone are all my joys at once
I lov'd thee and thee alone
In whole love I joyed once
