Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears,
Soon my troubles will be over.
How bright th’unchanging morn appears!
Soon my troubles will be over.
[chorus]
Troubles over,
Soon my troubles will be over.
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell,
Soon my troubles will be over.
Where lights and shades alternate dwell,
Soon my troubles will be over.
Soon my troubles will be over.
How bright th’unchanging morn appears!
Soon my troubles will be over.
[chorus]
Troubles over,
Soon my troubles will be over.
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell,
Soon my troubles will be over.
Where lights and shades alternate dwell,
Soon my troubles will be over.
