You praise each youthful form you see,

And love is still your theme;

And when you win no praise from me,

You say how cold I seem:

You know not what it is to pine

ceaseless vain regret;

You never felt a love like mine,

You never knew Annette,

You never felt a love like mine,

You never, never knew Annette.

For ever changing, still you rove,

It proves you never loved!

To many idols you have knelt,

And therefore soon forget;

But what I feel you never felt,

You never knew Annette.
