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 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.
