Song
by
Lightly we met in the morn,
Lightly we parted at eve.
There was never a thought of the thorn
The rose of a day might leave.
Fate’s finger we did not perceive,
So lightly we met in the morn!
So lightly we parted at eve
We knew not that Love was born.
I rose on the morrow forlorn,
To pine and remember and grieve.
Too lightly we met in the morn!
Too lightly we parted at eve!
