XV. “PASSION BLOSSOMS, THEN DIES”
Passion blossoms, then dies
And its bloom
Passes quite, and its eyes
Sunlit once like the skies
Close in gloom.
And its bloom
Passes quite, and its eyes
Sunlit once like the skies
Close in gloom.
Give me love that will last
When the fire
Of romance in the past
Sunsetlike fadeth fast
On its pyre.
When the fire
Of romance in the past
Sunsetlike fadeth fast
On its pyre.
Give me love more divine
Than the light
Of a star that can shine
For a month, then decline
In a night.
Than the light
Of a star that can shine
For a month, then decline
In a night.
105
If you love me, why so
Let it be:
But with love that will grow
From a stream's quiet flow
To a sea.
Let it be:
But with love that will grow
From a stream's quiet flow
To a sea.
