Richard D'Oyly Carte - Alone, and yet alive lyrics

[KATISHA] Alone, and yet alive! Oh, sepulchre! My soul is still my body's prisoner! Remote the peace that d**h alone can give — My doom, to wait! my punishment, to live! Hearts do not break! They sting and ache For old love's sake But do not die Though with each breath They long for d**h As witnesseth The living I! The living I! Oh, living I! Come, tell me why When hope is gone Dost thou stay on? Why linger here Where all is drear? Oh, living I! Come, tell me why When hope is gone Dost thou stay on? May not a cheated maiden die? May not a cheated maiden die?
