WELL-A-DAY!
Love comes and goes like a spell!
How, no one knows, nor can tell!
Now here—now there—then away!
None dreameth where!—Well-a-day!
How, no one knows, nor can tell!
Now here—now there—then away!
None dreameth where!—Well-a-day!
Love should be true as the star
Seen in the blue sky afar!—
Not here—now there—like the lay
Of lutes in th' air!—Well-a-day!
Seen in the blue sky afar!—
Not here—now there—like the lay
Of lutes in th' air!—Well-a-day!
154
Should love depart, not a tie
Binds up the heart till we die!—
Now here—now there—sad we stray
Life is all care!—Well-a-day!
Binds up the heart till we die!—
Now here—now there—sad we stray
Life is all care!—Well-a-day!
