Clouds heap upon clouds and it darkens. lyrics

Clouds heap upon clouds and it darkens.

Ah, love, why dost thou let me wait

outside at the door all alone?

In the busy moments of the noontide work

I am with the crowd,

but on this dark lonely day

it is only for thee that I hope.

If thou showest me not thy face,

if thou leavest me wholly aside,

I know not how I am to pass these long, rainy hours.

I keep gazing on the far-away gloom of the sky,

and my heart wanders wailing

with the restless wind.
