What Have You Done In This Beautiful
World to be Crying of No One to Love?
"Why No One to Love?" (1862)
by Stephen Collins Foster, 1826-1864
No one to love in this beautiful world,
Full of warm hearts and bright beaming eyes?
Where is the lone heart that nothing can find
That is lovely beneath the blue skies;
What have you done in this beautiful world,
That you're sighing of no one to love?
Dark is the soul that has nothing to dwell on!
How sad must its brightest hours prove!
Lonely the dull brooding spirit must be
That has no one to cherish and love.
What have you done in this beautiful world,
That you're sighing of no one to love?
Many a fair one that dwells on the earth
Who would greet you with kind words of cheer,
Many who gladly would join in your pleasures
Or share in your grief with a tear.
Where have you roamed in this beautiful world,
That you're sighing of no one to love?
