You say, dearest comrade, my love has grown cold,
\nBut you are mistaken, it burns as of old;
\nAnd no power below, dearest lad, nor above,
\nCan ever lessen, frien’ Bennie, my love.<\/p>\n

Could you but look in my eyes, you would see
\nThat ’tis a wrong thought you have about me;
\nCould you but feel my hand laid on your head,
\nNever again would you say what you’ve said.<\/p>\n

Naught, o my Bennie, our friendship can sever,
\nDearly I love you, shall love you for ever;
\nMoment by moment my thoughts are of you,
