English text

Must I then part from thee?
Parting were death to me,
Could'st thou forget the past,
and faithless prove!
Let thy heart stay with me,
My heart will stay with thee,
Thus shall we both remain
still true to love.

Take thou this flow'ret too,
Clad in a heav'nly hue,
'Tis the forget-me-not,
words truly said.
What though the gift be vain,
Yet will its hue remain,
True as my heart to thee,
E'en though it fade.
