SIGH NOT.
I
Sigh not, when I'm away,Fly not far from the gay;
Buy not sorrow's dull tale,
Cry not,—will it avail?
237
Die not—live for my sake,
Sigh not, when I'm away,
Fly not far from the gay.
II
Hie not to the weird sage,Pry not into life's page,
Try not witchery's test;
Why not hope for the best?
I, not dreaming of guile,
Spy not a crime in a smile!
Sigh not when I'm away,
Fly not far from the gay.
