Abstract
Love poem linking the joy, passion, faintness or ending of song with the truth, distance or falseness of the lover addressed. The manuscript is dated 12 March 1838 and the piece was set, with some verbal changes, by ∗Pearson in ‘O Listen While I Sing to Thee. Canzonet. With Accompaniment for the Harp or Piano Forte’. The date of the canzonet is probably 1843 or 1844: see LL 4.149.
