Lyrics: Anon
Sweet friend, thy absence grieves my bleeding heart;
Yet I do joy to hear of thy good health.
Ah, woe is me, that now I shall depart
From thee, more dear to me than Croesus' wealth.
But if on earth I may not see thy face,
I'll fly to heaven to seek thee in that place.
Sweet friend, thy absence grieves my bleeding heart;
Yet I do joy to hear of thy good health.
Ah, woe is me, that now I shall depart
From thee, more dear to me than Croesus' wealth.
But if on earth I may not see thy face,
I'll fly to heaven to seek thee in that place.
