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 |
