Romance |
Romance, a play boy who is born each spring |
To teach the nightingale to sing |
Romance, a legend on an old brocade, |
A prince who tells a country maid: «I love you». |
Now where this whimsy comes from, I don’t know; |
For when it comes it’s just about to go. |
Romance, a flower that will bloom awhile |
With sunshine from a lover’s smile, |
That lover’s tears bedew! |
Ah! |
Yet, when I seek this beauty, |
Flower of youth’s first dawning, |
I find a prosy work-a-day world |
Stretching and yawning! |
Love is locked up in cages, |
Kept for a poet’s pages; |
Life and adventure |
Don’t seem to be paying attention to me! |
And so I dream of fair Romance |
And let my fancies weave pretty stories. |
And tho' I know they are not so, |
I like to go wand’ring amid their wistful glories. |
My princes become what I mold them, |
And they stay for the breath of a sigh! |
I open my arms to enfold them, |
And they’re gone like a breeze rushing by. |
Ah, this is a humdrum world, |
But when I dream I set it dancing. |
When life is gray, I have a way to keep it gay, |
Passing the time of day with love. |
