I Attempt From Love's Sickness to Fly - Shirley Stewart Farmer

I Attempt From Love's Sickness to Fly Lyrics

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 should we 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 pow'r
And less mercy than fate,
To make us seek ruin,
To make us seek 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.
