I shall not want what isn't mine

Neither memory nor moment's time

Though the world be sublime

I need not want what isn't mine

Only a fool would cross the line

And defy the good Lord's great design

I hear the bells toll and chime

I will not want what isn't mine

For it is a sin, but a sin so kind

To have our souls so intertwined

My head is clear, yet my heart is blind

I must not want what isn't mine

To you, my love, I am inclined

To these feelings quite divine

But in the end, I come to find

I cannot have what isn't mine
