SONG

Lightly we met in the morn,

Lightly we parted at eve.

There was never a thought of the thorn

The rose of a day might leave.

Fate's finger we did not perceive,

So lightly we met in the morn!

So lightly we parted at eve

We knew not that Love was born.

I rose on the morrow forlorn,

To pine and remember and grieve.

Too lightly we met in the morn!

Too lightly we parted at eve!
