"I Attempt from Love's Sickness to Fly..."

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,
Since I am myself my own fever,
Since I am myself my own fever and pain.
No more now, no more now,
Fond heart, with pride no more swell.
Thou canst not raise forces.
Thou canst not raise forces
Enough to rebel.

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,
Since I am myself my own fever,
Since I am myself my own fever and pain.
For love has more power and less mercy than fate
To make us see ruin,
To make us see ruin
And love those that hate.

I attempt from love's sickness to fly in vain,
Since I am myself my own fever,
Since I am myself my own fever and pain.
