SONG.

[Lady, we are growing tired!]

Lady, we are growing tired!
Lo! our faltering breath,
Once with new-born love inspired,
Holds the love we once desired, as weary unto death.
Lady, Love is very fleet,
All too fleet for sorrow:
But if we part in time, my sweet,
We'll overtake Love's flying feet,—
If we part to-day, my love, we'll find new love to-morrow.
