Nightingale |
I built my house beside the wood |
So I could hear you singing |
And it was sweet and it was good |
And love was all beginning |
Fare thee well my nightingale |
'T was long ago I found you |
Now all your songs of beauty fail |
The forest closes 'round you |
The sun goes down behind a veil |
'Tis now that you would call me |
So rest in peace my nightingale |
Beneath your branch of holly |
Fare thee well my nightingale |
I lived but to be near you |
Though you are singing somewhere still |
I can no longer hear you |
