Question

cold in the earth, and the deep snow piled above thee!
far, far removed, cold in the dreary grave!
have i forgot, my only love, to love thee,
severed at last by times all-wearing wave?
now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover
over the mountains, on that northern shore;
resting their wings where heath and fern-leaves cover
thy noble heart for ever, ever more?

have i forgotten to love you?
why do i love you?
