- I have not seen your face to-day
Where were you
A hundred others came to pray
Where were you
From out my prison I have gazed
At thousands who have, kneeling praised
I wanted youII
I wanted you - you did not come
Where were you
I waited there - in silence - dumb
Where were you
Oh! could you not one moment spare
Oh! Surely you a little care
I wanted youIII
You had not time - Oh! So you said
Where were you
While my sad Heart in silence bled
Where were you
Among your friends long hours you spent
While I - My Loving Heart was rent
In solitudeIV
I do not like to be alone
I want you(continues on next page)
