O say not, when my earthly days are o'er
That I have only caused thee sorrows sore;
For I have wrecked my own life, even more
Always and Everywhere

O say not, when on earth I no more dwell
That I have numbed thy young heart’s joyous swell;
I, too, have quaffed the Poison-Cup of Hell
Always and Everywhere

But say, when soft the grasses o'er me wave
That God is kind to hide me in the grave;
For both my lifе and thine I did enslave
Always and Evеrywhere

But say, O say ! when my last hours depart
That my poor life was one long frenzied smart;
For I have loved thee, though with bitter heart
Always and Everywhere
