A RONDEL OF ADIEU
Sweet Muse who led my life astray,
Wove round my heart a spell,
What need to leave me now and say
Farewell?
Wove round my heart a spell,
What need to leave me now and say
Farewell?
Whilst in my heart you dwelt, how well
Sped song and roundelay!
But who can fate foretell?
Sped song and roundelay!
But who can fate foretell?
My lips that sang no longer may,
Alas! since you rebel.
And so for ever and a day
Farewell!
Alas! since you rebel.
And so for ever and a day
Farewell!
