Tchaikovsky Music / Song
In late 1869, Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky composed a set of six romances for voice and piano, Six Romances, Op. 6. The last of these songs, TH93:6, is one of his best-loved songs, the melancholy "None but the Lonely Heart." It is a setting of Lev Mei's poem "The Harpist's Song," which in turn was translated from Johann Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.
Tchaikovsky dedicated "None but the Lonely Heart" to Alina Khvostova. The song was first performed by Yelizaveta Lavrovskaya, a Russian mezzo-soprano, in Moscow, 1870, following it with its St. Petersburg premiere the following year during an all-Tchaikovsky concert hosted by Nikolai Rubinstein.
The music is used in the film of the same name, starring Cary Grant and Ethel Barrymore, directed by Clifford Odets.

English Text translation:
(The lyrics of the song is a translation from Goethe's "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt.")
None but the lonely heart can know my sadness
Alone and parted far from joy and gladness.
Heaven's boundless arch I see
Spread out above me.
Ah, what a distance drear to one who loves me.
None but the lonely heart can know my sadness
Alone and parted far from joy and gladness.
(For I am far departed from joy and gladness.)
My senses fail, a burning fire devours me.
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness.
