## The words

While hollow burst the rushing winds,  
And heavy beats the show’r.  
This anxious, aching bosom finds No comfort  
in its pow’r;  
no,  
no!  
For ah! my Love, it little knows What thy hard  
fate may be,  
What bitter storms of fortune blow,  
What tempests trouble thee, what tempests  
trouble thee, what tempests trouble thee.  
A wayward fate hath spun the thread On which  
our days de- pend, And darkling in the  
chequer’d shade, She draws it to an end,  
But whatsoe’er may be our doom,  
The lot is cast for me, is cast for me,  
is cast for me; For in the world or in the tomb,  
My heart is fix’d on thee, is fix’d on thee,  
is fix’d on thee.  
For in the world or  
the tomb, My heart is fix’d on thee,  
My heart is fix’d on thee, is fix’d on thee.  
For in the world, or in the tomb,  
my heart, my heart is fix’d on thee,  
My heart is fix’d on thee.  
But whatsoe’er may be our doom,  
The lot is cast for me, is cast for me,  
is cast for me; For in the world,  
or in the tomb, My heart is fix’d on thee,  
is fix’d on thee, is fix’d on thee.  
For in the world, or  
the tomb, My heart is fix’d on thee,  
My heart is fix’d on thee is fix’d on thee.  
For in the world, or in the tomb,  
My heart, My heart is fix’d on thee,  
My heart is fix’d on thee, on thee,  
on thee, on thee, on thee.
